President John Mahama has instructed the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, to immediately commence investigations into corruption cases captured in the report of the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) committee.
The directive was issued on Monday when the President received the report, which comprises 2,417 complaints, for onward submission to Dr. Ayine.
North Tongu MP and ORAL Chairman, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, led the team to present the findings at the Jubilee House.
Commending the committee, President Mahama described the report as a defining moment in the country’s anti-corruption efforts.
“I have handed the report to the A-G to commence immediate investigations into the cases reported. The report will be carefully studied, and where prosecution is required, it will be done without fear or favor.
“Every pesewa recovered from the operation will be reinvested in national development, emphasizing that Ghana is no longer a ground for corruption,” he stated.
Mahama further noted that the report marks a significant step in recovering looted state assets.
“The findings of this report make for sober reading, revealing the scale of financial leakages that have cost our nation dearly—resources that should have been invested in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social development.
“But they also give hope that through collective efforts, we can reclaim what is ours and deter future acts of economic sabotage,” he added.
