President John Mahama has stated every pesewa recovered from Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) will be channelled back into national development.
According to John Mahama, the recommendations of the report will be carefully studied and where legal action and investigations are needed, they will be pursued without fear or favour.
Speaking on February 10, 2025, after the ORAL’s team submitted their final report to President John Mahama, he stated, “As we receive this report, let me assure the Ghanaian people that the work does not end here. The recommendations of the report will be carefully studied and where legal action and investigations are needed, they will be pursued without fear or favour”.
“Every pesewa recovered will be channelled back into national development and mechanisms will be strengthened to prevent such losses in the future”, he added.
John Mahama further sent a warning saying, “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 that this government remains your steadfast partner in building a nation where honesty and hard work are rewarded”, he added.
“This is a defining moment in our fight against corruption. We must all play our parts, citizens, civil society, the media, and public officials alike. Together, we will build a Ghana that is just, transparent, and prosperous for generations to come”, he added.
Meanwhile, the former chairman of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) and Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed that with just 36 cases Ghana can potentially recover $20.49billion in stolen state resources.
