Reject ORAL Committee Invitations – Minority to Ex-Gov’t Officials
Opposition lawmakers criticize the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) committee, calling it unconstitutional and urging former government officials to avoid participating.
- Parliamentary Minority argues that existing constitutional bodies render ORAL unnecessary and illegal
- Minority urges former government appointees to reject invitations from the ORAL committee
- Suame MP John Darko insists the Minority will not participate in ORAL’s activities
The Minority in Parliament has called on former government appointees to reject invitations from the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) committee, labeling its establishment as unconstitutional.
Led by Suame MP John Darko, the Minority caucus contends that existing constitutional bodies are adequately empowered to handle investigations into alleged misconduct, making ORAL redundant and unlawful.
“No credible nation should entertain such a body. Former government officials are advised to boycott invitations from ORAL, as we firmly believe constitutionally mandated institutions should manage such matters,” John Darko stated.
ORAL, chaired by North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, was formed on December 18, 2024, to recover looted state assets, but its legitimacy has been met with strong opposition from the Minority.
