The Kontihene of Akyem Asuom, Nana Boadi Amponim Obodade III, has called on President to institutionalise the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee.
Speaking in an interview on GHOne TV on Friday, January 17, 2025, he emphasised that ORAL should be empowered with the legal authority to prosecute and take individuals to court, urging the president to push for laws that will provide ORAL with prosecutorial powers. "I am begging the powers that be, go to Parliament, enact the laws that will back ORAL, so that ORAL will have all the capacity to prosecute, the legal right to go to court and subject all these people to what Ghanaians want," he stated.
The Kontihene further explained that ORAL is a significant factor in the NDC's election victory, hence there is the need to ensure it is instuitionalised.
He argued that ORAL must last beyond 2028, ensuring that it has the institutional backing necessary to combat corruption. "We actually voted for President because of ORAL.
