Private legal practitioner and activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has asserted that the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee will not succeed unless bold reforms are undertaken in the judiciary.
In a post shared on his X page on Monday, September 8, 2025, Baker-Vormawor warned that the courts are congested with cases, and the bureaucracy surrounding plea bargaining system risks crippling ORAL's mandate. "Our court system is clogged by thousands of cases that could have been pleaded out.
A vast amount of prosecutorial resources are being spent on cases that should not go the full length of trial.
In the end, cases delay, prosecutors are overworked, and worse, serious white-collar crime is not effectively prosecuted," he wrote.
