ORAL is not just about recovering looted resources but restoring hope - Omane Boamah
Ghana's National Democratic Congress (NDC) has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability, vowing to recover public resources lost to corruption and mismanagement.
Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the NDC's Director of Election Monitoring, emphasized that the party's "Operation Recover All" initiative is a top priority. This comes after the NDC's presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, was declared the winner of the 2024 elections.
According to Dr. Omane Boamah, the NDC is determined to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition of power, while also holding the outgoing government accountable for its actions. He warned against any last-minute financial obligations that could burden the incoming administration.
The NDC has also pledged to provide hope, dignity, and decent-paying jobs to Ghana's unemployed youth through its 24-hour economy plan. Dr. Omane Boamah expressed his gratitude to Ghanaians for their overwhelming support, particularly the youth who voted in large numbers for President Mahama.
“Ghanaians have spoken decisively,” Dr. Omane Boamah said.
“This outcome—over a 1-million-vote margin—is a clear repudiation of the Akufo-Addo and NPP government.
"Now that there is a government in waiting, we are determined to ensure accountability, and the people can trust us to deliver on our promises.”
“President Mahama stayed in the country after the 2016 loss, as did many of us, to account for our tenure. We expect the same from the NPP administration. Operation Recover All will not be a mirage.
"The unemployed youth who came out in their numbers to vote for President Mahama deserve better, and we will provide them with hope, dignity, and decent-paying jobs through the 24-hour economy plan.”
“We do not expect them to incur unnecessary expenditures or sign binding contracts during this period. Financial institutions should also desist from honoring such obligations,” he said.
“This is the time to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. The days of recklessness and unaccountability are over. Operation Recover All is not just about recovering looted resources; it’s about restoring hope and trust in leadership,” he stated.
“Hope is here, and it has been declared with President Mahama as president-elect. Ghanaians have every reason to believe that this administration will deliver,” Dr. Omane Boamah added.
