\n
The Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, Abena Osei Asare has stated that President-elect, John Mahama\u2019s Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) committee is unlawful and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
The MP who doubles as the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry has also questioned the basis for the establishment of the five-member committee chaired by North Tongu Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.<\/p>\n
She has asserted that the committee there are already various state agencies that are mandated to supervise corruption-related issues, hence a parallel committee is unnecessary.<\/p>\n
The MP wonders how the NDC government intends to implement their interest-based committee findings which will have no effect.<\/p>\n
She said the incoming government should not be in haste in pursuing an agenda that is not legally accepted by the Constitution.<\/p>\n
The Minister made these remarks during a thank-you tour in her constituency in the Eastern region.<\/p>\n
She said she has enjoyed goodwill from the constituent although Ghanaians may have been disappointed and voted against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n
The MP noted that the party accepts the will of the people but expressed confidence they will bounce back.<\/p>\n
The committee is non-partisan, operating on pro bono, with no associated budget or financial burden, and is designed to ensure accountability and fairness.<\/p>\n
Despite the opposition particularly from some NPP members, former Obuasi East NPP MP, Edward Ennin has expressed readiness to give evidence of where looted assets are kept while former NPP General Secretary, Nana Obiri Boahen has also commended the initiative.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
