Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has claimed that his property was unfairly targeted by the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) team simply because it shares a boundary with the Police Academy.
His comments come amid reports that the ORAL team scrutinized a property he has owned since 2006, allegedly flying drones over it to establish a link to state land.
"They thought it was state land because my property shares a wall with the Police Academy. Maybe they assumed I had acquired it illegally, but unfortunately for them, that’s not the case. In any case, must you fly a drone over my property?" Afenyo-Markin questioned.
Speaking on JoyNews' The Pulse on Wednesday, February 19, the Effutu MP accused the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of using ORAL as a tool to go after political opponents instead of focusing on governance.
"You see, sometimes politicians think that by attacking an opponent, they gain popularity. NDC should know that they've won. They've won with a four-year mandate. They should be busy implementing their manifesto promises rather than coming after Afenyo-Markin."
When asked what he would do if his name or property appeared in the ORAL report submitted to President John Mahama, he did not hold back.
"I’ll sue them. I will sue them. If I see anything inconsistent with the law, I’ll sue them. I’ll sue their individual personalities. I’ll sue each one of them. I’ll sue for the law to remedy the situation."
Meanwhile, Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, is expected to recommend the prosecution of individuals named in the ORAL report. The team, which submitted its findings earlier this month, estimates that Ghana could recover over $21 billion in allegedly illegally acquired assets.
