On Wednesday, December 18, the Mahama Transition Team released an official press statement detailing the objectives of ORAL. Described as a citizen-centric platform, the task force invites the public to report corruption-related issues and boasts a robust structure designed to proactively address the pervasive challenge of corruption in Ghana.
At the helm of ORAL, Ablakwa will be supported by a distinguished team including Daniel Domelevo, the former Auditor-General, Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, a retired Commissioner of Police, Martin Kpebu, a reputable private legal practitioner, and Raymond Archer, an investigative journalist known for his commitment to uncovering the truth. The collective expertise of this diverse team is seen as essential for bolstering existing anti-corruption measures and reinforcing institutional accountability.
The press statement emphasized the government’s unwavering commitment to responsible resource management, stating, “This initiative underscores our resolve to hold public officials accountable and encourage citizen participation in the governance process.” As the task force chair, Ablakwa is tasked with leading investigations, recovering misappropriated funds, and fostering greater transparency in public administration.
In alignment with Mahama’s broader vision for a more accountable government founded on constitutional principles, ORAL is set to work closely with various institutions to ensure timely resolutions to cases of corruption. The Transition Team made it clear that this task force will not only target corruption at all levels but also play a pivotal role in restoring confidence in the integrity of public institutions.
With ORAL’s creation, the Mahama administration is taking a significant step toward a future rooted in accountability and transparency, ensuring that the voices of citizens are heard and valued in the governance process.
