Treat ORAL as policy, not just rhetoric – Bright Simons.

The Vice President of IMANI Africa has urged political actors and policymakers to approach the NDC’s “Operation Recover All Loot” (ORAL) as a structured government policy rather than a mere political promise, stressing the need for clear targets and measurable outcomes.

Bright Simons, speaking in an interview on, February 15, stressed the widespread public support for ORAL, cautioning political figures, particularly from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), against underestimating its appeal.

“We have to be very clear that a lot of people in this country are excited about it, and I think those political actors who’ve made it a habit to try and caricature it and make fun of it are not attuned to public sentiment,” he said.

According to him, the NPP’s dismissive stance towards ORAL and other economic concerns reflects a broader issue of political disconnect.
