Ghanaian musician Samini has applauded President John Dramani Mahama’s efforts to bring corrupt individuals to justice through the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) initiative.
Speaking in an interview with Joy Prime TV, the Linda hitmaker said he is pleased to see people being held accountable for their actions.
“As I speak to you currently, with what we’re seeing, I’m a happy Ghanaian. I like the fact that people are being brought to book and justice is being served, or at least, it seems justice is going to be served,” Samini stated.
ORAL is a government initiative aimed at retrieving stolen public funds and prosecuting individuals who have misused state resources.
The initiative has led to several investigations and legal actions against former public officials accused of financial misconduct.
According to Samini, holding individuals accountable for mismanaging public funds is the right course of action, and he will always support such efforts, regardless of who is involved.
“I support things like this. I won’t sit here and walk on eggshells just because a personal favourite of mine might be in trouble, if there’s wrongdoing, there’s trouble,” he said.
He further emphasised the importance of integrity among public servants, stating that those placed in positions of trust must act in the public’s interest.
“I believe that if you are put in public office, it’s your responsibility to serve Ghana and protect the public purse. If you come and do anything dubious, you should be brought to book. You must be held accountable,” he added.
Samini praised President Mahama and the judiciary for their efforts in tackling corruption, describing it as one area of government that is making visible progress.
“The President and the judicial system are doing a good job. So far, that’s the area where I’ve seen a lot of action. As for everything else, I think it’s too early to say much,” he concluded.
