Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem Sai
The Deputy Attorney General has revealed that former appointees of the Akufo-Addo administration are now stepping forward with information against their own colleagues.
Dr Justice Srem Sai said some of the revelations are coming from individuals who served at the very top of the previous government.
“Some low-level government appointees have come out to come forward,” Dr Srem Sai said on PM Express on JoyNews. “They generally are coming forward with information against their own former colleagues. Some are high up.”
He confirmed that many of those now assisting the state with evidence were previously in positions of power themselves. “Some of them were part of the previous government, and they themselves are coming forward with information.”
When asked by host Evans Mensah whether these informants were members or affiliates of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Srem Sai replied, “Well, some of them are neutrals. But most of them are government officials.”
The Deputy Attorney General said the country is currently seeing a surge in complaints and evidence related to alleged wrongdoing during the last administration.

“There are other cases. The ORAL report had 33 cases. But I can tell you on authority that right now we are running over 50 cases,” he said.
“There is whistle-blowing going on and people are bringing you evidence and complaints.”
According to him, the office of the Attorney General is now receiving information from citizens almost daily.
“I can tell you, Ghanaians are really determined to get accountability,” he stated.
“Every day, someone walks into the Attorney General’s office. Some come with lawyers. Others come alone. And they have documents. Making complaints every day.”
He credited the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s Audit of Risks Associated with Looting (ORAL) as a turning point.
“You were right when you said the ORAL is the ultimate determinant of what happened in 2020,” he told the host.
Dr Srem Sai made clear that this rise in whistleblowing is not just from outside the corridors of power.
“Some of the complaints and evidence are coming from people who were actually there,” he stressed.
The Deputy Attorney General praised this shift, saying it reflects a wider demand for justice.
“The number is actually increasing now against former government officials.”
Though he did not name names, his message was clear — the silence is breaking. People who once stood side-by-side in power are now helping build cases that could lead to prosecutions, he stated.
