Togbe Afede: I Fully Support Operation Recover All Loot

Togbe Afede XIV, the Agbogbomefia of Asogli State, has encouraged Ghanaians to back Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) in their fight against corruption. Speaking at the 2026 Asogli Te Za (Yam Festival) grand durbar, Togbe Afede emphasized corruption as the greatest obstacle to national progress. He highlighted the detrimental effects of corruption on all Ghanaians, mentioning economic hardship forcing some to seek refuge in South Africa, while others lost their life savings through the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).

Togbe Afede denounced the abuse of State scholarships meant for the needy, with top officials taking them to study abroad, even for their spouses and children. He stressed that honesty and truth were vital in the battle against corruption and expressed full support for ORAL. The Agbogbomefia commended the government's national development agenda, praising President Mahama for pursuing reparation justice over colonialism and slavery.

Madam Dzifa Gomashie, Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, deemed the festival's theme as a call for unity and investment in people and infrastructure for sustainable national development.
