Led by the Member of Parliament for Suame, John Darko, the Minority caucus argued that the creation of ORAL is illegal, asserting that constitutionally established bodies already exist to investigate alleged wrongdoings.
John Darko emphasised that members of the former government would not engage in the activities of ORAL activities in any capacity.
“No serious country will entertain anything like this. So, if you are a former government official and receive an invitation from this so-called ORAL, the Minority’s advice is to boycott it,” he said.
“We will not participate because we believe constitutionally mandated bodies are equipped to investigate any alleged mistakes of the government.”
ORAL is chaired by the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
It was established on December 18, 2024 to recover looted state assets.
