The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has warned government officials against embezzlement and any form of criminality, expressing readiness to ensure they face the full rigors of the law.

Addressing the press on Monday, Dr. Ayine declared that he has the authority of President John Mahama to prosecute individuals found culpable after investigations.

The minister cited the case of the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, who is currently in custody over the diversion of $7 million of public funds into his private accounts.

The minister explained that the funds were intended for the procurement of cybersecurity infrastructure.

According to him, the country was turned into a crime scene for eight years, and the Mahama-led administration is committed to uncovering the crimes.

"I’d like to take this opportunity to tell everyone in public office who is listening to me that if you do what suspect Adu Boahene did, I’ll come after you. I'm not going to wait because I have the authority of Mr. President that if you engage in anything like what Mr. Adu Boahene has done, or any act of criminality, I will not wait—I will come after you. So, this is a warning to everyone," he declared.

Dr. Ayine further commended the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for its efforts in the fight against corruption and the recovery of looted assets.
