Hopeson Adorye, a renowned political figure, made a daring statement on the sidelines of President John Dramani Mahama's inauguration on January 7, 2025, indicating that he intended to play an active role in the fight against corruption in the new administration.
Adorye, known for his vocal position on governance concerns, asked President Mahama to take immediate action against those implicated in corrupt activities, vowing to help in the endeavor by identifying those responsible for financial crimes.
Adorye's remarks came just after Mahama was inaugurated in for a second term as Ghana's president, signaling a huge political shift in the country.
The inauguration ceremony, held at the renowned Black Star Square, was attended by dignitaries, political personalities, and citizens from all around the country.
Despite the festivities, Adorye's comments about corruption drew notice, as he openly remarked, "He should arrest everyone implicated in corruption. That will boost public confidence. That is what I will assist with. "I know some corrupt people, and I'll show them where to go."
The message was a clear call to action, as Adorye pledged to assist the newly elected president in carrying out his mandate to tackle corruption, which remains a major issue in Ghanaian politics.
This gesture is consistent with the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) administration's commitment to transparency and accountability.
The party has launched a program called as the "ORAL policy" (Operation Recover All Loot), which aims to discover and solve corrupt activities that allegedly occurred during the former administration of President Akufo-Addo.
Adorye's attitude has aroused public debate, with many believing that strong anti-corruption measures are required to restore public trust in the administration.
The ORAL strategy is likely to be a fundamental component of Mahama's presidency, as he works to reconstruct Ghana's institutions and achieve justice for everyone.
While corruption has long plagued Ghanaian politics, the public has expressed an increasing desire for reform.
Adorye's words demonstrate that he is determined to holding the new administration accountable, not just for the promises made, but also for ensuring that the country's resources are used in ways that benefit all Ghanaians.
