The Committee for Public Accountability (CPA) has issued a strong warning against the misuse of the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) platform, urging members not to use it for personal vendettas.
The committee expressed concern that the platform, designed to promote transparency and accountability, could be exploited to settle personal grievances, which goes against its intended purpose.
Collins Owusu Amankwaah, the leader of the CPA, emphasized that the committee would resist any attempts to use ORAL for individual scores. He pointed out that the integrity of the platform must be preserved, and it should remain focused on its mission of fighting corruption and promoting justice.
CPA’s concerns were triggered by the actions of Raymond Archer, a member of the president-elect’s five-member anti-corruption team.
CPA condemned Mr. Archer’s comments about Dr. Daniel McKorley, a successful entrepreneur and the CEO of McDan Group.
Raymond Archer had allegedly suggested that McKorley, should hope the NPP government stays in power forever.
CPA says it rejects such statements, clarifying that McKorley, like any Ghanaian citizen, has the right to conduct legitimate business and contribute to the economy without being subjected to political interference.
Collins Owusu Amankwaah reaffirmed the committee’s stance, emphasizing that Dr. McKorley’s business success was the result of his hard work and perseverance, not political allegiance. The committee warned that any attempts to politicize legitimate business practices would not be tolerated, as it could damage the business community and hinder economic growth.
It stressed the importance of protecting the rights of entrepreneurs and ensuring a fair and transparent business environment for all.
