The website for Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), one of the channels dedicated to encouraging citizens to report looted state assets anonymously, was built by IT experts who volunteered their services for free, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, chairman of the committee has disclosed.
According to him, the committee has received more than 700 leads to recover looted state assets. He, however, divulged that the website has been facing daily attacks from hackers since its launch.
“IT experts came together to build the website for us for free. On a daily basis some people are trying to attack the website. Hackers are attacking the website,” he revealed on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana.
Meanwhile, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says the ORAL team has pledged to operate without imposing any financial burden on the state.
In a post on social media, the chairman of Operation Recover All Loot stated that all five members of the committee had agreed to serve on a pro bono basis.
The ORAL initiative is part of a larger strategy to improve transparency and accountability in the public sector.
