The Transition Team of Ghana’s President-Elect, John Dramani Mahama, has established a dedicated team to advance his anti-corruption agenda ahead of his swearing-in.
This initiative aims to deliver on his campaign promise to “recover proceeds of corruption and hold persons responsible for such corruption accountable.”
In a press statement issued by the Transition Team, it was announced that “a Team has been set up to receive and gather information from members of the public and other sources on suspected acts of corruption.”
The team is chaired by Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and includes prominent figures with expertise in auditing, law enforcement, and investigative reporting:
Mr. Daniel Domelevo: Former Auditor-General
COP (Rtd.) Nathaniel Kofi Boakye: Retired Police Commissioner
Mr. Martin Kpebu: Private Legal Practitioner
Mr. Raymond Archer: Investigative Journalist
Anti-corruption efforts, particularly through the initiative titled Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), formed “a core part of H.E. John Mahama’s policy platform in the 2024 campaign.” The Transition Team emphasized that he “intends to hit the ground running on these commitments.”
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the spokesperson for the Transition Team, reiterated the President-Elect’s resolve to tackle corruption head-on, signaling a robust approach to accountability under the new administration.
