“We’re not Investigators, just validators” – Domelevo on ORAL’s role

Daniel Yao Domelevo, a member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee, has explained that ORAL’s primary mission is to validate the information and claims of corruption it receives, rather than conduct investigations.

Our work is essentially a validation mission,” he said in an interview with Joy News.

“We cannot just sit in our offices, hear claims like those from the Lomotey/Adotey family about their demolished property, and include them in our report without verifying. The presidency might question our findings if there’s no evidence on the ground.

Domelevo emphasized that the committee’s role is to confirm claims, not accuse individuals. “We are not accusing anyone. Before establishing any guilt, there must be an investigation. My background as an auditor reminds me that preliminary findings often change when rebutted with evidence. Our job is not to accuse but to verify.”

He further clarified that the committee’s work differs from investigative actions by other bodies like national security.

People often confuse our role with that of national security,” Domelevo noted. “When they move in, they might take actions that go beyond validation, but we have no control over their operations.”

According to the former Auditor General, despite not conducting investigations, the ORAL Committee aims to accurately document claims related to state land and property issues, ensuring that these are presented to President Mahama for further consideration and potential action.
