The Supreme Court has spoken, and the message is clear, the Assets Recovery Team is legal and now has the green light to proceed with its mission.
Gracious Ride, a company that found itself at odds with the government’s asset recovery initiative, had challenged the executive order that created the team. The company argued that the mandate of the Assets Recovery Team was unconstitutional, claiming it overstepped executive powers.
But the Supreme Court saw things differently. In a ruling delivered today, the Court upheld the legitimacy of the Assets Recovery Team, confirming that it was lawfully established and fully authorized to carry out its work.

With this decision, the team can now move forward without any legal roadblocks as it investigates and reclaims assets suspected to have been obtained through questionable means. This ruling sets a major precedent in the government’s fight against corruption, reinforcing the state’s authority to track down and recover public resources.
What comes next? With legal barriers out of the way, all eyes will be on the Assets Recovery Team to see how it executes its mandate. Will this be a turning point in the country’s fight against corruption, or just another legal battle won on paper? Time will tell.
