President John Dramani Mahama has revealed that the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee has received more than 2,000 complaints from individuals and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) as part of efforts to clamp down on corruption and recover misappropriated public resources.
Speaking during a national address on Wednesday, May 7, to mark his first 120 days in office, President Mahama highlighted the significant response the initiative has generated since its launch.
“The office of the Special Advisor on corruption will continue to receive complaints and reports regarding graft for onward transmission to the Attorney General. Building on the success of the ORAL mechanism, we have received over 2,000 complaints in just a few weeks,” he indicated.
The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability, promising to not only pursue wrongdoing by past officials but also ensure ethical conduct within his own government.
“As promised, my commitment to fighting corruption is not limited to recovering loot from past appointees. We will also ensure that our own appointees serve Ghanaians responsibly and adhere to the highest standards of accountability,” he said.
