Ghanaians haven’t lost hope in ORAL – Ayine

The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, says public confidence in the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) initiative remains strong and will be vindicated through convictions and recovered funds.

ORAL, launched by the NDC government, aims to trace, investigate, and recover misappropriated state assets, particularly from politicians and politically exposed persons linked to the previous administration.

The initiative has received more than 2,000 complaints of alleged financial misconduct, with genuine cases being prioritised for investigation.

Former Auditor-General and ORAL team member Daniel Yao Domelevo had previously stressed the importance of maintaining momentum to sustain public trust in the initiative. He described ORAL as a “big plan” and highlighted the need to strengthen the legal framework to ensure accountability and discourage future corruption.

Speaking on Newsfile on Saturday January 10, the Attorney-General noted that he interacts regularly with citizens who continue to express support for the government’s anti-corruption efforts.

“People are not losing hope.

I am not living in a bubble. I interact with Ghanaians on a daily basis.

They meet me and they tell me thank you for the good work you are doing for this country,” he said.

He emphasised that while the recovery process is complex and requires careful investigation, Ghanaians’ hope will be justified once the legal and recovery processes yield results.

“Their hope will be vindicated when we have convictions, when we have recoveries and so on, but it is a process that must be followed through with diligence,” Dr Ayine noted.
