The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has vowed to reclaim any property unlawfully acquired under the current administration if it wins the upcoming December 7 general elections.
Osman Ayariga, the Deputy Youth Organiser of the NDC and convenor of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Brigade, stated that a future NDC government would prioritise the recovery of state assets allegedly misappropriated by appointees of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In an interview on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, Ayariga emphasised that the NDC is committed to ensuring that all ill-gotten wealth or property is returned to the state.
He noted that this initiative has gained widespread support among Ghanaians, and the party will not relent in its efforts 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 continue to chase after every looted property even if it involves persons 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 and protested against alleged financial mismanagement under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government.
