In the wake of President John Dramani Mahama’s electoral victory, his administration’s commitment to tackling corruption head-on has dominated the national discourse.
The president had vowed to recover misappropriated state funds, a promise that gained traction after numerous reports of alleged financial misconduct flooded his office.
This led to the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, tasked with gathering information on corruption-related cases.
Daniel Domelevo, a prominent member of the ORAL team, emphasized the necessity of an independent and thorough financial and procurement audit to substantiate the claims.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, he stated, “The President promised he was going to recover all loot and after the elections, he was inundated by messages of reported corruption and so he thought it wise to put us together to collect those information and so what we presented yesterday was on corruption and corruption-related cases, financial fraud and procurement breaches.”
While acknowledging the weight of the allegations, Domelevo clarified that the ORAL team had no investigative mandate. “
The bulk of it needs auditing to establish those had procurement breaches and cases that were not in line with the laws of Ghana because we didn’t do any investigation.
“We don’t have a mandate to investigate, ours was to collect information,” he explained.
