Immediate past member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team, and renowned former Auditor-General, Daniel Yao Domelevo, says that he will be disappointed when alleged cases found by the ORAL team are not handled well, urging that those found culpable must be held accountable.
His remarks comes after the ORAL Committee on Monday, February 10 submitted its report to President Mahama containing 2,417 complaints of suspected corruption.
“I will be extremely disappointed in the president and the attorney general if, after we have sacrificed to do all these, they don’t subject these issues to proper investigation so that where people are found culpable, they are held accountable,” Mr Domlevo remarked.
Speaking to JoyNews' Maxwell Agbagba on February 10, Mr Domlevo emphasized that the focus should not only be on detaining individuals but also on recovering misappropriated funds with additional surcharges, ensuring that those involved face real consequences.
“Personally, I think that we should move into recovering monies with some additional surcharges, rather than just putting people in custody so that they can come back after five or ten years and enjoy their booty,” he said, criticizing a system that allows wrongdoers to return without truly paying for their actions.
The member of the Committee called for a higher level of accountability for public officers, urging that they should face severe consequences for misusing public trust.
“My prayer is to be sure that we hold public officers at a higher level of accountability,” he concluded.
