“We are still compiling all the cases and will present our report to the president soon,” Ablakwa stated. “What I can tell you is that we’ve received over 700 petitions, and it has been a daunting task. However, the political will to see this through is strong. We remain committed to demonstrating the same passion for accountability that we upheld in opposition, even now in government.”

“We are virtually done with field validation in the capital, where a significant amount of looting occurred,” he said. “However, we have also received reports from other regions across the country. Starting this weekend, we will move outside the capital to conduct validation sessions in these regions. Our goal is to ensure every petition is thoroughly investigated, leaving no stone unturned.”
A Commitment to Accountability
According to Ablakwa, the ORAL Committee’s work represents the government’s dedication to addressing corruption head-on and delivering on promises to the people of Ghana.
“This initiative shows that we are serious about holding ourselves accountable and ensuring that public resources are safeguarded for the benefit of all Ghanaians. What we’re doing now serves as a deterrent for those of us in government and sets a precedent for the future,” he noted.
Final Steps Before Submission
With the validation process nearing completion, Ablakwa assured Ghanaians that the committee’s report will be submitted to President Mahama in the coming weeks. The report is expected to include detailed findings, recommendations, and actions to be taken against individuals or groups found culpable of wrongdoing.
A Nationwide Effort for Justice
The ORAL Committee has garnered significant public interest as it represents a critical effort in promoting justice, restoring public trust, and recovering misappropriated assets. By actively involving citizens in the process through the submission of petitions, the committee underscores the importance of public participation in governance and accountability.
As the committee concludes its work, the nation awaits the outcomes of its report, which could set a new standard for transparency and justice in Ghana’s governance.
