ORAL receives 2,417 corruption complaints, targets $20.49bn in recoveries – Ablakwa


The Chairman of the Operation Clear All Looters (ORAL) Committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has revealed that the anti-corruption task force received a total of 2,417 complaints from concerned citizens.

Out of these, 1,493 cases were reported via phone calls, while 924 complaints were submitted through emails.

ORAL, a specialized anti-graft committee, was established to collect information and data on stolen state resources and allege corruption. It operated in collaboration with National Security and other enforcement agencies.

Speaking at the Jubilee House on Monday, February 10, where the committee handed over their report to the President and the Attorney General, Mr. Ablakwa emphasized ORAL’s commitment to holding corrupt officials accountable and ensuring looted state resources are reclaimed.

He called on whistleblowers and the general public to continue submitting complaints to the appropriate state agencies even after the work of ORAL, to ensuring transparency and justice in governance.

Ablakwa also disclosed that ORAL’s work has already yielded sign ificant outcomes, including:
✅ Protecting lands belonging to the Northern Development Authority in partnership with National Security.
✅ Preventing the demolition of 50 government-owned bungalows, ensuring public property is safeguarded.
✅ Reviewing 36 high-profile corruption cases that, if successfully prosecuted, could lead to the recovery of $20.49 billion in stolen funds.
