The Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) Committee has finally submitted its report on suspected corruption cases to President John Mahama, and it’s a big deal.
The committee, led by Chairman Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, presented its final report to the President at the Jubilee House on Monday, February 10, 2025.
The report is the result of a thorough investigation into alleged corruption and embezzlement of state resources, and it’s clear that Ghanaians are eager to see some real action taken to address the issue.
According to Chairman Ablakwa, the committee received a whopping 2,417 complaints, with 1,493 coming in through a toll-free call line and 924 via email.
The committee reviewed these petitions over the past 53 days, with 44 coming directly from civil society organizations and other public-spirited citizens.
What’s interesting is that 59 of the 230 cases they reviewed had actually come up during the NDC’s time in opposition, but the committee decided to take a closer look.
President Mahama was impressed with the team’s pro-bono work and pledged to thoroughly review the findings. He emphasized that every single pesewa recovered from the operation will be reinvested in national development, and that Ghana is no longer a haven for corruption.
This is a significant statement, and it’s clear that the President is committed to making a real difference.
The ORAL Committee’s report is a major milestone in the fight against corruption in Ghana, and it’s exciting to think about what might come next. With the President’s commitment to reinvesting recovered funds in national development, there’s a real opportunity for positive change.
