The Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) Committee has submitted its much-anticipated report to President John Dramani Mahama, revealing a total of 2,417 complaints of suspected corruption.
The report, which was officially handed over at the Jubilee House on Monday, February 10, marks a significant step in the government’s intensified fight against corruption.
The committee, chaired by Foreign Affairs Minister Okudzeto Ablakwa, was established to gather public complaints on suspected corrupt activities and recommend actions to recover stolen state funds and assets.

Speaking before the presentation, Mr. Ablakwa highlighted the overwhelming public response, which he said underscored Ghanaians’ deep frustration with corruption and their eagerness for accountability.
“The numbers speak for themselves—1,493 complaints were received via our toll-free line, while 924 were submitted through email. This is a clear indication that Ghanaians want action, and they are watching closely,” Ablakwa stated.
President Mahama, upon receiving the report, commended the ORAL Committee for its diligent work, particularly noting that its members had volunteered their services without demanding any financial compensation.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fighting corruption and ensuring accountability at all levels of governance.
“This government will not tolerate corruption. Every pesewa recovered will be reinvested in national development. Ghana is no longer a breeding ground for corruption,” the president declared.
Following the submission, President Mahama directed the Attorney General and Minister of Justice to begin reviewing the cases outlined in the report and take appropriate legal action where necessary.
The government has assured the public of transparency in handling the complaints and has pledged to prosecute individuals found culpable.
The ORAL Committee’s findings have sparked national discussions, with civil society groups, anti-corruption organisations, and the general public keenly following developments. Analysts suggest that this move could mark a turning point in Ghana’s ongoing battle against corruption, reinforcing trust in government institutions and promoting financial accountability.
As the Attorney General’s office begins its investigations, many are hopeful that this initiative will lead to concrete actions and the recovery of misappropriated funds, ultimately strengthening Ghana’s governance structures and fostering economic growth.
