A governance expert, Kwasi Yirenkyi, has said that the formation of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) is a complete waste of everybody's time if their work is just to receive information about suspected acts of corruption and pass it on to the state bodies for investigations.  He suggested that units within the state bodies such as the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Criminal Investigative Department (CID), and National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), should have been created with a team of experts to handle this siruation He was reacting to the clarification provided by President-elect John Mahama that the team is not going to investigate anybody.

Mr Mahama clarified that the team is only a focal point to revive information on acts of corruption by officials for onward submission to the state bodies to act on them.

He said "With regards to ORAL, I announced the preparatory committee and people are confused.

We are receiving a lot of information on things that are going wrong, corruption scandals and all that., some send me texts on my phones, some call me, others pass through other people.
