A University of Ghana professor claims the attorney general applies corruption laws unevenly through the Operation Recover All Loots program. Joshua Zaato said prosecutors dropped cases against former National Democratic Congress members while pursuing ex-officials from the New Patriotic Party.
The political science teacher told TV3 that government lawyers granted favorable treatment to opposition party figures whose cases ended without court rulings. He said politicians made these decisions instead of allowing judges to determine guilt or innocence.
Zaato said the state lost millions in potential recoveries after suspects kept property and investments bought with public funds. He argued this approach damages trust in legal institutions and weakens efforts to stop financial misconduct.
The lecturer spoke on the KeyPoints program on Saturday, October 25. He said targeting one political group while protecting another represents selective enforcement rather than equal justice under the law.
