President John Dramani Mahama has announced that findings from the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee will be handed over to relevant investigative agencies to probe individuals suspected of misusing state resources.
The committee is expected to present its report next week.
Speaking during his ‘Thank You’ tour of the Central Region on Thursday, February 6, Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to combating corruption, both within his government and the previous administration.
He assured Ghanaians that his government would prioritise the interests of all citizens, not just a select few, and emphasised accountability as a key pillar of his leadership.
“Next week, the ORAL committee that I set up is going to present its report to me. And I will refer it to the investigative organisations to start their investigations against people who have misappropriated the resources of this nation,” Mahama stated.
The President also outlined plans to introduce a comprehensive accountability framework and a code of conduct for individuals in positions of trust. He stressed that his administration would hold both former and current officials to the same high ethical standards.
“Even as we investigate those who have just left office and we carry out our Operation Recover All Loot, those who are current office bearers should also know that they will be held to the same standard as we are holding the past regime,” Mahama asserted.
