Ghana's Anti-Corruption Drive Stalls: Public Outrage Mounts

Ghana's Operation Recover All Loot: Accountability Concerns and Public Outrage June 4, 2025, saw a surge in public concern over Ghana's Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative. Political commentator Solomon Owusu, in a recent video interview, voiced strong criticism of the government's handling of the operation. The interview, filmed in Ghana, highlighted the lack of progress in recovering misappropriated funds, fueling public anger. Owusu stated, "This business of coming, talking only, no action, it's not something I go with." He cited several examples, including the misallocation of funds for the National Cathedral and the failure to prosecute those responsible for the 250 million cedis NPA scandal. He also pointed out discrepancies in reported payments to the GBC, stating that far less money was actually paid than was publicly claimed. The video reveals a deep-seated frustration among citizens regarding corruption. Owusu's impassioned plea for accountability reflects the public's desire for justice and transparency. The upcoming rally planned by pressure groups on July 1st demonstrates the growing public pressure on the government to take decisive action.
