Minority leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has threatened legal action against individuals involved in the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) initiative if his name or property appears in the committee's findings.
His warning comes amid reports that a property he has owned since 2006 was scrutinised under the operation.
He claimed that drones were flown over his property, which shares a boundary with the Police Academy, in an attempt to link it to state land.

"They thought it was a state land, and because I share a wall, there's a common boundary between my property and the Police Academy, you know, so maybe they thought that it’s a Police Academy property that I had illegally acquired. And unfortunately for them, that was not it. In any case, must you fly a drone on my property?" he asked.
Speaking on JoyNews' The Pulse on Wednesday, February 19, Mr Afenyo-Markin accused the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of using ORAL to target political opponents instead of focusing on governance.

"You see, sometimes politicians think that by attacking an opponent, it breaks the opponent down, and they would be popular. NDC should know that they've won. They've won with a four-year mandate. They should be busy with the implementation of their manifesto promises rather than coming after Afenyo-Markin."
When asked whether he would be surprised if his name or property appeared in the ORAL report submitted to President John Mahama, the Effutu MP was resolute in his response.
"I’ll sue them. I will sue them. If I see anything inconsistent with the law, I’ll sue them. I’ll sue their individual personalities. I’ll sue each one of them. I’ll sue for the law to remedy the situation."

In the coming days, Attorney General and Minister for Justice Dr Dominic Ayine is expected to recommend the prosecution of individuals named in the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) report.
The team, which submitted its findings to President Mahama earlier this month, estimates that Ghana could reclaim over $21 billion in illegally acquired assets.
