President-elect John Dramani Mahama has refuted suggestions that the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee is a political witch-hunting tool.
He revealed that he and his team have been receiving numerous reports regarding corruption scandals—some sent via text, others through phone calls, and some communicated through intermediaries.
The objective he explained is to create a central point where all evidence can be directed.
The committee he stated will gather this evidence and forward it to the appropriate government institutions for further investigation.
He said this during a meeting with the Canadian High Commission in Ghana on Thursday, December 19, 2024.
“I think people are misunderstanding it. We’re receiving a lot of information on things that are going wrong, or things, I mean, corruption scandals and all that.
“We want a focal point where all evidence on corruption scandals or misconduct can be directed. ORAL is not investigating individuals but compiling evidence for government agencies tasked with such duties … I don’t think that people should think that it’s the witch-hunting committee. We have no brooms to fly at night,” Mr. Mahama stated.
He also clarified that the committee and members are operating pro bono, with no associated budget or financial burden, and it is designed to ensure accountability and fairness.
