ORAL Operational Cost Won’t Be Borne By Taxpayers- Ablakwa
The Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency and Chairman of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced their operations will not be funded with taxes.

In a Facebook, Ablakwa announced, “The ORAL Team held its first meeting at 2pm today and has resolved to work gratis.”
They will not receive salaries, allowances, per-diems or fuel coupons, he noted, assuring that, “None of our activities will come at a cost to the taxpayer.”
