Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team chairperson Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has delivered a “comprehensive” report to President John Dramani Mahama.
According to him, the report will result in the proper inquiries and prosecutions, and the money collected will be put back into state coffers for the advancement of the country.
President Mahama promised that under his direction, Ghana would no longer be a haven for dishonest people and would instead reward integrity and diligence.
“The recommendations of the report will be carefully studied and where legal action and investigations are warranted, they will be pursued without fear or favour. Every pesewa recovered will be channeled back into national development, and mechanisms will be strengthened to prevent such loses in the future,” he said.
“I have promptly handed the report to the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, and I gave him firm instructions to commence immediate investigations into the cases reported in here with the view to prosecuting anyone found liable for corruption or related offences,” he reiterated.
“To those who think they can defraud the state and escape justice, let this serve as a strong warning. Ghana is no longer a safe haven for corruption. To those who stand for integrity, accountability and the rule of law, I assure you this government remains your steadfast partner in building a nation where honesty and hard work are rewarded.”‘
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a defining moment in our fight against corruption. We must all play our part, citizens, civil society, the media, and public officials alike. Together, we’ll build a Ghana that is just, transparent and prosperous for generations to come.” President Mahama added.
