Ghana’s Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) Committee presented a comprehensive report to President John Dramani Mahama on Monday, February 10. The report detailed a staggering 2,417 complaints of suspected corruption, gathered through a public call for reports via a toll-free call line and email.
Chairman of the ORAL Committee, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, emphasized that Ghanaians are eager for decisive action against corruption. “The people of Ghana have spoken loudly through these complaints,” he noted. President Mahama commended the ORAL team for their diligent work and reiterated his commitment to combating corruption, stating that every recovered pesewa will be reinvested in national development.
The report’s findings include major scandals, such as those involving the National Cathedral project and Power Distribution Services. President Mahama has instructed the Attorney General and Minister of Justice to initiate investigations into these cases, demonstrating his administration’s resolve to tackle corruption head-on. The ORAL initiative is part of President Mahama’s campaign promise to retrieve state funds lost due to corruption and mismanagement.
