In a bold move to tackle corruption, President John Mahama has declared that Ghana is no longer a safe haven for corrupt activities. The president’s statement came after receiving a report from the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) team, which revealed 2,417 cases of suspected corruption, with potential recoverable assets totaling $21.19 billion.

President Mahama warned those who think they can defraud the state and escape justice, saying, “Ghana is no longer a safe country for corruption.” He emphasized the importance of accountability, stating that the state would stand firm with those who prioritize integrity and the rule of law.

The ORAL team, led by Chairman Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, identified common stolen state assets, including lands and bungalows. The president has handed the report over to the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, for further investigation and possible prosecution.

President Mahama concluded by stating that any punishment arising from these findings would be implemented without fear or favor. This move is seen as a significant step towards tackling corruption in Ghana and promoting transparency and accountability.
