A national executive of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has emphasized that the party’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) is not a witch-hunt targeting innocent individuals but a focused effort to retrieve state resources unlawfully acquired by individuals who cannot account for their sudden wealth while in government or working for the state.
In an exclusive interview with Julius Caesar Anadem on Ultimate 106.9 FM in Kumasi, the NDC’s Deputy General Secretary, Mustapha Gbande, underscored the party’s commitment to holding accountable those responsible for looting state funds.
He asserted that even if it requires stripping President Nana Akufo-Addo of his immunity to ensure accountability, he would support such a move to serve as a deterrent to both active and retired politicians.
“I am a firm person, and people know that. But let me be clear: if anyone is wrongly pursued by my government, I will speak up for the right thing to be done—regardless of who they are.
However, let me add this: even if it takes stripping President Akufo-Addo of his immunity to help this nation recover what has been stolen, it will be done,” Mr. Gbande stated.
He further warned that no one implicated in corruption would be allowed to flee the country under the current administration.
“His ministers—no one is leaving this country. I am actually here in Kumasi looking for Wontumi, and I have been told he has run away. We will begin arresting them even while they are still in their own government,” he rebuffed.
Mr. Gbande concluded by stressing that Ghanaians are eager for the successful execution of ORAL. “One of the most important things Ghanaians want from the next NDC government is Operation Recover All Loot.
“Even if we do not construct roads or undertake new projects, as long as we recover what has been looted by the current government, Ghanaians will be satisfied with us.”
