By The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has pledged to reclaim any property unlawfully acquired during the current administration if victorious in the upcoming December 7 general elections.
Osman Ayariga, the Deputy Youth Organiser of the NDC and leader of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Brigade, stated that a future NDC government would focus on recovering state assets allegedly misappropriated by New Patriotic Party (NPP) appointees.
In an interview, Ayariga underscored the NDC’s commitment to returning all ill-gotten wealth or property to the state.
He added that this initiative has received strong support from Ghanaians, and the party remains determined to recover any looted assets.
“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.”
He added that “ORAL is to start unearthing all the rot and the loot in this country and we are demanding that this current administration takes the necessary actions and steps to make sure that most of these bloated contracts are either stopped or abrogated, and there should be a value-for-money audit and there should be some recovery of some loot in this country.”
Osman Ayariga further assured that the ORAL Brigade will pursue every looted property, even if it involves individuals affiliated with or appointed by the NDC.
“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.”
Members of the ORAL Brigade gathered at the Finance Ministry on Wednesday, September 4, to protest against alleged financial mismanagement under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.
