The team is led by the re-elected member of parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who will serve as the chairman of the committee.

He would be supported by former Auditor-General Daniel Yaw Domelevo, who was forced to resign from his post by the outgoing president of Ghana Nana Akufo Add, retired Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathan Kofi Boakye, Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, and Raymond Archer, an investigative journalist.

A statement issued by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, spokesperson for the transition team for the President-elect, said, “As a preparatory measure towards the rollout of H.E. John Dramani Maham’s promise to recover proceeds of corruption and hold persons responsible for such corruption accountable when he assumes office, a team has been set up to receive and gather information from members of the public and other sources on suspected acts of corruption.

The statement added that ‘’anti-corruption, with Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) as a major plank, formed a core part of H.E. John Mahama’s policy platform in the 2024 campaign and intends to hit the ground running on these commitments.
