Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu emphasised the vital role of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) teams in addressing illegal land transactions and the recovery of stolen state assets.
While acknowledging the limitations of their current mandate, Kpebu emphasized the significant progress made despite the early stages of investigation.
While speaking on the KeyPoints with Alfred Ocansey on February 1, Kpebu explained that although the team's responsibility is primarily focused on gathering evidence, their efforts have already led to tangible results. "Even at this preparatory stage, we've been able to halt some major illegal land dealings," he said. "If we hadn't acted when we did, a lot of illegal transactions would have gone through.
This committee, in its early stages, has already been an important safeguard," Mr Kpebu added.
