Togbe Afede XIV, has praised President John Dramani Mahama for establishing Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) to help recover all looted state assets.
Speaking during President Mahama’s ‘Thank You Tour’ in the Volta Region on Friday, January 24, 2025, the traditional ruler noted that the establishment of the ORAL committee demonstrates Mahama’s commitment towards the fight against corruption.
“ORAL was great news for all of us. It’s bad enough to suffer, but it’s worse to know that you are suffering because a few people think they deserve all that the state has to offer and get themselves involved in a desperate scramble for our limited resources under property-owning democracy. We support all your intentions and all your plans to retrieve everything that was lost.
“Funds that were stolen, lands that were stolen, buildings, etc. Your Excellency, you have our fullest support. We’re excited that you decided to make it unattractive for anybody to embark on that road. And that is why you have warned your own appointees. It’s our hope they respect that.”
He also commended President Mahama for directing his appointees to declare their assets.
This he indicated was’heartwarming. “Ghanaians have welcomed your reset agenda, a brave fight against corruption… Ghanaians appreciate the fact that you are moving at the speed of light.”
“It is heartening to see that you are addressing this issue, particularly because we have long believed that the concentration of power in the hands of the president needs to be reconsidered” he said.
“I enjoy watching you restore Ghana’s image through your travels, working to rebuild lost relationships and reaffirm Ghana’s leadership in African affairs,” he said.
