The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has endorsed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s initiative to operationalize Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL). Apexnewsgh reports
This task force, led by North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, aims to reclaim misappropriated state assets.
Madam Nana Akosua Frimpomaa Kumankumah, the CPP’s 2024 flagbearer, praised ORAL as a commendable initiative by President John Dramani Mahama’s administration. Speaking on Accra-based CTV’s “GHANA NKUSUO” morning show, she commended Ablakwa’s selfless dedication to the cause.
Kumankumah urged the ORAL task force to extend its mandate to cover historical loot dating back to 1966, when the CPP government, led by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, was overthrown in a coup. She emphasized that numerous CPP-owned properties were confiscated and repurposed for state use, including:
– The Ministry of Information building in Accra
– The CPP’s Brong Ahafo Regional Office in Sunyani
– The CPP’s Central Regional Office in Cape Coast, now housing the Ghana Education Service
Kumankumah cautioned NDC appointees that ORAL would become a benchmark for accountability when the NDC eventually leaves office. She warned against any misuse of public resources, emphasizing that history would judge all political officeholders by the same standards.
The CPP’s endorsement of ORAL adds momentum to the initiative, promoting transparency in governance and the recovery of lost national assets.
