President-elect John Dramani Mahama has appointed a five-member team to lead the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) efforts in implementing its Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative.

This initiative, which formed a major part of Mahama's campaign, is central to his 120-day social contract plan. It is aimed at addressing corruption, recovering stolen public funds, and instituting robust accountability systems within the country’s public sector.

ORAL is a strategic effort to confront corruption and financial mismanagement, with a primary focus on recovering misused state resources. The program is expected to rebuild public trust in governmental institutions, improve governance, and provide vital resources for national development.

A statement from the President-elect’s office, dated December 18, announced the formation of the five-member team, who will be responsible for executing this vital program.

The members are as follows:

Hon Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa – Chairman

Mr Daniel Domelovo-Former Auditor-General

COP(Rtd.) Nathaniel Kofi Boakye

Mr Martin Kpebu-Private Legal Practitioner

Mr Raymond Archer-Investigative Journalist.

Operation Recover All Loot was first introduced to the public on September 4, 2024, during a demonstration organized by NDC-affiliated groups at the Ministry of Finance.

The protest, which highlighted concerns over what they called "gross financial mismanagement" under the outgoing Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration, saw participation from civil society organizations, students, and concerned citizens.
