If the National Democratic Congress (NDC) wins the next general elections on December 7, it has promised to return any property that was unjustly obtained under the current administration.
Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Brigade convenor and NDC Deputy Youth Organiser Osman Ayariga declared that the recovery of state assets purportedly pilfered by NPP appointees would be the top priority for any future NDC government.
Ayariga emphasized that the NDC is dedicated to making sure that all illegally acquired income or property is returned to the state in an interview with Citi FM’s Eyewitness News.
He stated that Ghanaians are broadly in favor of this plan, and the party will not give up on its pursuit of regaining any stolen property.
“The next NDC administration is promising the good people of this country that whatever it is that this [New Patriotic Party] NPP administration has looted from this country, be it state lands, be it contracts and state properties, we will institute Operation Recover All Loot to ensure that all is recovered and the young people of the country have bought into this idea.”
“ORAL will begin uncovering all the corruption and corruption-related loot in this nation, and we are requesting that the current administration take the required steps to ensure that the majority of these bloated contracts are either terminated or stopped, and there should be a value-for-money audit and some loot in this nation is recovered,” he continued.
Osman Ayariga also promised that the ORAL Brigade will keep pursuing any plundered property, regardless of whether it involves NDC allies or appointees.
“We have said time without number that it is not just a one-off thing and this is going to continue even beyond the elections and we are going to go after government officials who will decide to loot and we will go after everyone including the persons affiliated with the NDC.”
On Wednesday, September 4, ORAL Brigade members demonstrated against the government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, accusing them of financial mismanagement, at the Finance Ministry.
