In his first State of the Nation Address, President Mahama mentioned ORAL three times, noting the number of corruption-related cases the ORAL committee has submitted to him, which he subsequently forwarded to his Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine. “I also pledged to fight corruption head-on by implementing Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL). In that regard, Mr Speaker, one of the first committees I established, even before my investiture as President, was to establish the ORAL committee on the sidelines of the transition committee. The report has been handed over to the Attorney General for further review, thorough investigation, and eventual prosecution. President Mahama, in his 2026 SONA, did not even mention ORAL, even though he hinted at a section of Ghanaians being disappointed by the ‘slow pace’ of the initiative.
