The Dean of Business Administration and Communication Arts at Academic City University, Prof. Enoch Opoku-Antwi, has urged patience in discussing corruption allegations, stating that the upcoming Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) report will shed light on key issues.
Speaking on Prime News on ABC News GH, Prof. Opoku-Antwi indicated that, “I think that it is too early to talk about corruption issues because ORAL is coming with their report. A lot of issues that they have found and will be talking about.”
His statement comes amid heightened public anticipation regarding the findings of the ORAL Committee, which was established by President John Mahama to investigate financial misconduct in government.
Meanwhile, President Mahama has announced that the ORAL report will be presented to him next week, following which it will be forwarded to relevant investigative bodies for further action.
Addressing a durbar in the Central Region during his Thank You Tour, he reaffirmed his commitment to tackling corruption and holding accountable those who have misappropriated national resources.
“Next week, the ORAL Committee that I set up is going to present its report to me, and I’ll refer it to the investigative organisations to start their investigations against people who have misappropriated the resources of this nation,” he stated.
The President also made it clear that the anti-corruption drive would apply to both past and present government officials.
Marking 30 days since his inauguration, President Mahama emphasized his administration’s commitment to good governance and accountability. During the swearing-in of the final 17 ministers to complete his 60-member cabinet, he admonished them to exhibit integrity in their service to the nation. His firm stance was underscored by a Ghanaian proverb: “The stick that is used to beat Takyi is the same stick that will be used on Baah,” highlighting that no official will be spared in the fight against corruption. With the ORAL report expected soon, many Ghanaians are keenly awaiting revelations that could reshape the nation’s governance landscape.
