The Chairman of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced an upcoming report submission.
Ablakwa revealed that the committee is reviewing over 700 public petitions to ensure accountability and prevent government malpractice.
“We are still compiling all the cases, and we will be presenting our report to the president soon. What I can tell you, avoiding specifics, is to say that so far, in terms of the petitions that have come in, they are over 700, and it has been really such a daunting task, but there is the political will.”
He emphasized the government’s commitment to maintaining the same anti-corruption zeal shown while in opposition.
“We are all passionate about this. And what I like about what is going on is that we have the opportunity to show the same passion that we exhibited in opposition, now that we are in government, we are committed to this. And what this does is that it serves as a deterrent to those of us coming into government, he said.”
He said the committee is conducting a thorough validation process to confirm the accuracy of collected information. He said the team will visit other regions in the coming days to validate reports submitted nationwide.
“We are hoping to be wrapping up soon in the next couple of weeks. We believe that we have gathered enough. We are now virtually done with a field validation in the capital, where a lot of the looting happened, but we also have reports from across the country, so, in the next few days from this weekend, we are going out of the capital to carry out the validation sessions. We will make sure that all the regions are visited where we have received reports from.”
The ORAL committee aims to conclude its work within the next few weeks and provide a comprehensive report to the president.
