ORAL Committee receives over 2,400 complaints on looted public funds

-

The Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee has received 2,417 complaints from individuals and civil society organisations (CSOs) concerning corruption and misappropriated public resources.

Chairman of the committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, disclosed this on Monday, February 10, while presenting the team’s final report to President John Dramani Mahama.

Breaking down the complaints, he stated, “We received 1,493 calls through the toll-free line and 924 emails. Fortunately, all calls were automatically recorded, and the emails have been preserved for verification and validation.”

Ablakwa highlighted the significance of the ORAL Committee, questioning where petitioners would have turned for redress without the President’s intervention.

“For those who doubted the relevance and timing of the President’s intervention, this is your evidence—2,417 complaints received. Where would all these people have gone if President Mahama had not set up the ORAL preparatory team?” he asked.

The ORAL Committee’s work forms part of the government’s broader anti-corruption efforts to recover looted state assets and ensure accountability.
