He said his determination comes from growing up in tough conditions, which shaped how he sees the world.

“I will not rest until ORAL succeeds, whether under this administration or the next, because my community depends on my voice to lift them up, too, because my community depends on my voice to lift them up, too.

“I grew up surrounded by poverty. It wasn’t just beside us it enveloped us. It shaped how we interacted with the world, with our friends, and with our dreams. It put a ceiling on our imagination of what was possible, he wrote on his X page on Sunday, April 20, 2025.

He expressed frustration with what he described as the elite culture that constantly takes without giving back.

“Poverty is not fate, it is man-made, and we can fix it. That is why I hate our elite culture that takes and takes and takes. The theft weighs heavy on me, because I’ve seen and lived its cost”, he noted.

The ORAL Committee, which was formed on December 18, 2024, by President John Dramani Mahama has been tasked with identifying and retrieving looted state assets.

It is chaired by North Tongu Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
