Minority in Parliament has urged former government officials to avoid engaging with the newly established Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) committee, claiming that its formation is unconstitutional.

John Darko, the Member of Parliament for Suame, led the call, arguing that existing constitutional bodies are already equipped to investigate allegations of wrongdoing within the government. He described ORAL as an illegal body and stated that the Minority would not support its work.

“No serious country would tolerate something like this,” Darko said. “If you are a former government official and receive an invitation from this so-called ORAL, our advice is to boycott it.”

The ORAL committee, which was set up on December 18, 2024, is chaired by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu. Its mission is to recover state assets believed to have been misappropriated. However, the Minority has questioned the need for such a committee, suggesting that constitutionally mandated institutions are capable of addressing the issue.
