A member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee, Daniel Yao Domelevo, has clarified the team's mission as a validation exercise rather than an investigative one.
The former Auditor General speaking on Joy News' Upfront on Wednesday, January 15, explained that the committee's primary focus is to confirm claims related to state land and property issues, ensuring accurate reporting to President John Mahama. "What we are doing is essentially a validation mission," he stated. "We cannot just sit in our offices, hear claims like those from the Lomotey/Adotey family about their demolished property, and include them in our report without verifying.
The presidency might question our findings if there's no evidence on the ground." This clarification comes after the ORAL team visited the North Labone site where a property belonging to the Lomotey/Adotey family was illegally demolished in 2024.
During the visit, a family representative recounted their ordeal, detailing the trauma of losing their home, the destruction of valuables, and their ongoing struggle for justice.
