President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s determination to recover stolen state funds, declaring that no individual will be permitted to interfere with the ongoing Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
Speaking during a media engagement at the Presidency, President Mahama stressed that every corruption case under the Attorney-General’s office would be rigorously monitored to ensure that officials found guilty face justice.
His assurance comes in the wake of revelations by NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, at the party’s 5th Annual General Meeting, alleging that some party lawyers were negotiating clandestine deals to shield individuals under prosecution. President Mahama responded firmly: “Any attempt to derail the legal process or shield offenders will not be tolerated.” He emphasized that ORAL would remain uncompromising in retrieving misappropriated public funds.
In a related development, President Mahama highlighted the urgent need for robust regulations to govern the operations of new media platforms in Ghana. While acknowledging the positive impact of digital spaces on free expression and civic participation, he cautioned that these platforms have increasingly become conduits for hate speech and disinformation.
“These practices pose real risks to national unity and public safety,” President Mahama warned, adding that the government would collaborate with stakeholders to ensure digital platforms are used responsibly and in the public interest.
