Private legal practitioner and member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, Martin Kpebu, has refuted allegations made by Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, that the committee deployed drones to surveil his private properties, labeling the claim as baseless.
According to a report by citinewsroom.com, he made these remarks during a recent interview.
He clarified that the ORAL committee has not engaged in any such activities.
“It is false. The ORAL committee has not sent any drones to spy on the Minority Leader’s properties. It is not true at all. Looking at the members of the team, you can hazard that the committee will not do something ridiculous like that, so let’s disregard it. We do not own any drones as a committee at all,” he stated.
The private legal practitioner further dismissed claims that ORAL had secretly deployed additional members to operate on its behalf.
“We do not have any members aside from the committee members working for us. Since it is a democracy, claims like that are made for strategic reasons,” he explained.
The five-member ORAL team, chaired by the Member of Parliament of North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has been mandated by President John Dramani Mahama to recover state property unlawfully acquired by officials of the outgone government.
