Dossier on ‘ghost names’ at National Service Authority presented to ORAL team

The Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, chaired by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has received a dossier on the National Service ghost names scandal.

The dossier, presented by The Fourth Estate and the Media Foundation for West Africa, reveals that the scandal has cost Ghana over GHS500 million.

In a Facebook post on Friday, Ablakwa expressed his gratitude to the organisation for their exceptional patriotism.

“We are extremely grateful to The Fourth Estate and the Media Foundation for West Africa for the presentation and their exceptional patriotism. Together, we shall reset Ghana and recover all loot,” he stated.

The ORAL team is committed to investigating and addressing the fraudulent activities that have led to significant financial losses for the country. The dossier will play a crucial role in their efforts to recover the stolen funds and hold those responsible accountable.

This development comes as part of a broader initiative to combat corruption and enhance transparency within Ghana’s public sector.

The ORAL team, supported by both local and international experts, aims to restore trust in government institutions and ensure that public resources are used effectively for the benefit of all Ghanaians.

Other members of the ORAL team are Daniel Domelevo – Former Auditor-General, COP (Rtd.) Nathaniel Kofi Boakye – Retired Police Commissioner, Martin Kpebu – Private Legal Practitioner and Raymond Archer – Investigative Journalist.
