The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of being uncomfortable with the government’s ongoing efforts to expose and recover assets linked to corruption during their administration.

According to a report by adomfmonline.com, he made the remarks in an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story on Thursday, November 6, 2025.

Kwakye Ofosu said the NPP’s recent outbursts show that they fear accountability under the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative being implemented by the government.

“They are not happy that their misdeeds, corruption, and corrupt practices while in government are coming to light. They are unhappy that the Government of Ghana is implementing the Operation Recover All Loot, which is a policy we canvassed before the people of Ghana. Through that, we will be able to hold them to account.

“They think that by holding them to account, they will be exposed for the people of Ghana to see that they were not trustworthy and that they abused the mandate and resources that were given to them. That is the only reason why they are saying the things they are saying,” he noted.

The minister maintained that the government’s actions are rooted in transparency and justice, not political retribution.

“It is difficult to understand how anyone can oppose a process that involves holding public officials to account,” he stressed.

His comments follow accusations by the NPP that the Mahama administration’s ongoing anti-corruption drive is a state-sponsored witch hunt targeting former government officials.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Frimpong Kodua, said the party has consistently drawn the government’s attention to what it describes as the growing politicisation of law enforcement and judicial processes.

He noted that the party has organised several demonstrations and media briefings to remind the president and his administration that Ghana remains a nation governed by the rule of law, not political influence.

“We have urged the NDC government to end the continuous weaponisation of state security and the judiciary against political opponents, but unfortunately, our calls have fallen on deaf ears,” Jutin Kodua stated.

The ORAL Committee was established on December 18, 2024, under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration.

It was tasked with identifying and retrieving looted state assets and has since submitted its final report to President Mahama.
