The Executive Director of the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), Mary Addah, has expressed reservations about the establishment of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee by President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking on TV3's Key Points, Addah described the initiative as a "populist idea" and suggested that the move undermines the country's established anti-corruption institutions. "We are people who must be guided by the past about what has happened…we have seen similar committees being formed before.
Akufo-Addo put in place several committees," Addah remarked, emphasizing the need to learn from history.
The ORAL Committee was formed to recover state funds and assets allegedly misappropriated during the tenure of the outgoing New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
