President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has successfully retrieved over GH₵600 million in misappropriated public funds, as part of its intensified efforts to combat corruption and economic crimes.
This announcement was made during the presentation of the State of the Nation Address on February 27, 2026.
The president emphasised that these recoveries demonstrate the government’s renewed commitment to accountability and the protection of public resources.
President John Dramani Mahama noted that in addition to the substantial recoveries made so far, hundreds of additional cases are currently under investigation, while several others have progressed to the prosecution stage.
He added that the investigations cover a wide range of alleged offences, including procurement breaches, financial misappropriation, money laundering, tax evasion, cybercrime, and cross-border organised crime activities.
“As of December 2025, EOCO has recovered more than GH₵600 million. The office has investigated 462 cases, with 15 currently under prosecution. It has dismantled transnational carjacking syndicates and has recovered 29 luxury vehicles that were stolen.
“The government remains resolute that corruption will not be tolerated regardless of status or political affiliations. The Attorney General’s Office will continue with both criminal prosecution and non-conviction-based asset recovery mechanisms to ensure that stolen public resources are returned for national development.”
