President John Dramani Mahama has cautioned his appointees that they will be held accountable for their actions.
According to him, just as former appointees who engaged in corruption and corruption-related activities will be dealt with, current appointees will also face consequences.
He has therefore advised them to conduct themselves accordingly and avoid any corrupt practices.
In achieving this, President Mahama announced plans to implement a very strict system of accountability and come out with a code of conduct for persons who occupy positions of trust.
He served notice that he will not only go after corrupt officials of the previous government but also those of his administration who would be held accountable.
“We are not going to pursue only members of the past regime to account to the people of Ghana. We are going to pursue our own people and make sure they are held accountable to the people of Ghana. So even as we investigate those who have just left office and we carry out Operation Retrieve All the Loot, those who are current should also know that they will be held to the same standard as we are holding the past regime.”
He also disclosed that the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee will submit their report to him next week, following which he will forward the same to the various investigative bodies for further action.
“Next week, the ORAL Committee that I set up is going to present its report to me, and I will record it to the investigative organisations to start their investigations against people who have misappropriated resources of this nation.”
The President made the remarks during his ‘Thank You Tour’ of the Western Region.
