Mahama vows tough action under ‘Operation Recover All Loot’

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to recovering stolen state funds, stressing that no individual will be allowed to interfere with Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).

Speaking at a media engagement at the Presidency, the President said every case under the Attorney-General’s office would be closely monitored to ensure corrupt officials face justice.

His remarks follow disclosures by NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, at the party’s 5th Annual General Meeting, that certain party lawyers were allegedly negotiating secret deals to protect persons under prosecution.

“Any attempt to derail the legal process or shield offenders will not be tolerated,” President Mahama declared, adding that ORAL would remain uncompromising in retrieving misappropriated public funds.

In a related development, President Mahama underscored the urgent need for stronger regulations to guide the operations of new media platforms in Ghana.

While acknowledging their role in advancing free expression and civic participation, he cautioned that digital spaces have increasingly become breeding grounds for hate speech and disinformation.

 

“These practices pose real risks to national unity and public safety,” he noted, stressing that the government would work with stakeholders to ensure digital platforms are used responsibly.
