Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, a renowned Public Law and Justice fellow at CDD-Ghana, has sparked conversations about strengthening Ghana's fight against corruption by proposing the institutionalization of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
Speaking on The Keypoints with Alfred Ocansey, Professor Asare emphasized the critical need to prevent corruption before it occurs, advocating for an additional initiative called Operation Prevent Asset Losses (OPAL). "The fact that ORAL enjoys such massive support underscores the perceived ineffectiveness of current anti-corruption agencies.
Thus, the need for Operation Prevent Asset Losses (OPAL)," he explained.
He noted that while ORAL's objective of recovering public resources is vital, a broader approach that focuses on proactive measures would be a game-changer.
