Attorney General and Justice Minister-Designate, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has robustly defended the constitutionality of the government’s “Operation Recover All Loot” (ORAL) team, describing it as a vital mechanism to promote accountability and recover stolen state resources.
During his vetting by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Monday, January 13, 2025, Dr Ayine dismissed concerns about the legal basis of the ORAL team, which was established on December 18, 2024, and is chaired by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
Dr Ayine acknowledged that ORAL is not a traditional legal body but asserted that its operations align with the values and principles of Ghana’s Constitution. He emphasized the preamble of the 1992 Constitution as the foundational basis for the team’s mandate.
“If you look at the preamble to our Constitution, it is very clear about the fundamental values underpinning it. The value of accountability is one of the principles articulated in the preamble,” he stated.
