DECLINE INVITATION OF 'ORAL' WHEN SUMMONED- MINORITY TO FORMER GOVERNMENT APPOINTEES

Jh News The Minority in Parliament are calling on all appointees of the former administration to decline the invitation of the Operation Recover All Loot(ORAL)  Committee when summoned.

Addressing the media in parliament, the 
Member of Parliament for Suame, Lawyer John Darko speaking on behalf of the minority in parliament describes the Operation Recover All Loots(ORAL) establishment as unconstitutional.
He added that the committee lacks legal basis and is a front to persecute appointees of the NPP who the caucus believes have purchased state assets legally.

Lawyer John Darko further criticized the Attorney General designate Dr Dominic Ayine for his comments backing the committee despite it lacking legal status.

The minority caucus argued that the creation of ORAL is illegal, asserting that constitutionally established bodies already exist to investigate alleged wrongdoings.

They again emphasised that members of the former government would not engage in the activities of ORAL activities in any capacity.
“No serious country will entertain anything like this. So, if you are a former government official and receive an invitation from this so-called ORAL, the Minority’s advice is to boycott it,” they added. 

“We will not participate because we believe constitutionally mandated bodies are equipped to investigate any alleged mistakes of the government.”

ORAL is chaired by the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
It was established on December 18, 2024 to recover looted state assets.
