Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has warned that he will take legal action against members of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee if his name or properties are included in their investigations.
His threat follows reports that a property he has owned since 2006 was examined as part of the operation.
The ORAL Committee submitted its report to President John Dramani Mahama on February 10.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, is expected to recommend the prosecution of individuals named in the ORAL report.
Speaking on Joy News on Wednesday, February 19, the Minority Leader asserted, “I’ll sue them. I will sue them. If I see anything inconsistent with the law, I’ll sue them. I’ll sue individual personalities. I’ll sue each one of them. I’ll sue for the law to remedy the situation.”
Afenyo-Markin accused the ORAL Committee of flying drones over his property, which borders the Police Academy, in an attempt to falsely 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 accused the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of using the ORAL Committee to target political opponents rather than prioritizing 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.”
