According to Minister of Government Communications Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Mahama administration’s ongoing effort to retrieve state resources allegedly misappropriated by former government officials has led to the investigation of 65 individuals.
Speaking on TV3’s The Key Points on Saturday, May 10, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu emphasized that the current government is determined to shift away from the longstanding culture of impunity. “In the past, people flouted this with no consequences. President Mahama is setting a certain tone this time,” he said.
The Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), launched to track and retrieve public funds and assets, has so far handled over 200 cases. Out of these, 65 individuals have come under active investigation. “65 people have been investigated out of over 200 cases from ORAL,” the minister disclosed.
He further clarified the delay in certain appointments related to the initiative, indicating that the Attorney-General is in the process of reviewing specific cases to determine appropriate actions.
“The reason why we need to wait for the A-G and do a perusal is because people are appointed on a different date and time, even after the latest deadline, some people have been appointed,” he explained.
With public interest intensifying, Kwakye Ofosu reassured that the necessary legal procedures are being followed and that sanctions are now firmly part of the government’s approach. “We have moved from the position where there was no sanction to where there is sanction,” he asserted.
