The Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) Committee on Monday, February 10 submitted its report to President Mahama containing 2,417 complaints of suspected corruption.
Chairman of the ORAL Committee, Okudzeto Ablakwa noted that a total of 2417 complaints were received within the duration of which the committee was tasked with its work.
Out of the number, 1493 calls were received through toll-free lines and 924 emails were received.
Presenting the report to the President, Okudzeto Ablakwa said the number of complaints received vindicates President Mahama in his effort to deal with corruption and accountable governance.
“Were would all of these people have gone if President Mahama had not set up the team so President Mahama has been vindicated,” he said.
Ablawka said the websites and toll-free lines were set up for free by patriotic selfless Ghanaians who had interest in accountable governance.
“Over the last 53 days we have reviewed these petitions. 44 were received directly from civil society organizations and other public-spirited citizens.
“59 of the 290 cases revealed in the document were cases that had come up during the period the NDC was in opposition,” he added.
He stated that the committee at the end of its work finds the establishment of ORAL important to deepen transparency and accountability, increase public awareness about the need to protect public property and should serve as conscious guide to the new government.
Ablakwa further touted a number of interventions by ORAL to prevent the looting and destruction of some state properties.
The report has now been handed over to the Attorney General for further action and potential prosecution.
