President-elect John Dramani Mahama has named a five-member team to spearhead Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL). The National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) anti-corruption initiative.
The ORAL program, a cornerstone of Mahama’s campaign and part of his 120-day social contract agenda, focuses on combating corruption and reclaiming looted state resources.
A circular dated December 18, issued by the Office of the President-elect, confirmed the team’s composition and outlined its mandate.
ORAL aims to strengthen governance, enforce accountability in public institutions, and recover misappropriated funds to support Ghana’s national development.
The ORAL team members are:
- Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa – Chairman
- Mr. Daniel Domelevo – Former Auditor-General
- COP (Rtd.) Nathaniel Kofi Boakye
- Mr. Martin Kpebu – Private Legal Practitioner
- Mr. Raymond Archer – Investigative Journalist
Operation Recover All Loot was first introduced on September 4, 2024, during protests organized by NDC-affiliated groups at the Ministry of Finance. The protest was attended by civil society groups, students, and private citizens.
The protests highlighted concerns over alleged financial mismanagement under the outgoing Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.
The ORAL initiative aims to rebuild public trust in state institutions and address systemic financial impropriety across the public sector.
