Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee has made a significant breakthrough in its fight against corruption. Within 24 hours of launching its anonymous reporting portals, the committee received over 400 reports of suspected corruption cases. These reports are accompanied by documents, demonstrating the confidence Ghanaians have in the committee’s ability to combat corruption. The ORAL committee was established by President-elect John Dramani Mahama as part of his anti-corruption agenda. The committee’s mandate includes investigating corruption cases, recovering misappropriated state resources, and prosecuting offenders. This is a significant step towards ensuring accountability and transparency in governance. Citizens can report suspected corruption cases anonymously through various channels, including a toll-free number and WhatsApp (0800 900 111), a website, and an email (public@oralgh.org). This allows individuals to report corruption without fear of retribution. The ORAL committee’s chairman, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, emphasized that the committee’s work is temporary and will not undermine existing anti-corruption agencies. The committee will present its report to the Attorney General once they are appointed. Ablakwa highlighted the significance of President-elect Mahama’s anti-corruption agenda, which prioritizes the recovery of misappropriated state resources. This agenda is crucial in ensuring that public funds are used for the benefit of all Ghanaians. The ORAL committee’s efforts are a step in the right direction towards combating corruption in Ghana. The committee’s work will help to promote transparency and accountability in governance, which is essential for the country’s development. The success of the ORAL committee’s anonymous reporting portals demonstrates the willingness of Ghanaians to report corruption and demand accountability from their leaders. This is a positive development for Ghana’s democracy and its fight against corruption.
