The combined team of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) and the Attorney General’s Department is doing an important job by revealing the corrupt actions of the previous government, showing that taxpayers’ money intended for development has been misappropriated by corrupt officials of the NPP government.
Thanks to ORAL’s diligence, appointees under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo could have stolen millions from the state unnoticed, but the investigative efforts of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) through ORAL have brought them to light, and they are now facing the consequences.
In a discussion with Ghanaians about the exposure of this financial wrongdoing by the erstwhile administration, Novihoho Afaglo, a staunch member of the NDC, has praised President John Dramani Mahama for appointing ORAL to reveal the corruption of the previous administration.
Afaglo emphasised that the work of ORAL and the significant corruption being uncovered should serve as a warning to current government officials, reminding them that their positions are meant to improve the lives of the people, not deny them their economic rights.
He suggested that President Mahama should extend ORAL’s efforts to uncover more corrupt activities of former officials and allow the law to take its course.
He urged Ghanaians to support the President, the ORAL team, and the Attorney General in holding the perpetrators of these serious crimes accountable, especially with the NPP.
“President Mahama will not act as a clearing agent like Nana Akufo-Addo, who has cleared his appointees when they are accused of corruption,” he stated.
The ORAL Committee, chaired by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has members including former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo and legal practitioner Martin Kpebu.
