Anti-Corruption Platforms Launch: President-elect Mahama Reinforces Fight Against Corruption

President-elect John Dramani Mahama’s Transition Team has made an important step toward enhancing openness in government by launching new New Anti-Corruption Platforms for public reporting of misconduct. This program, sponsored by the Anti-Corruption Preparatory Team under Mahama’s leadership, demonstrates a reinvigorated commitment to accountability and integrity in public administration.

In a press release made on Wednesday, December 20, 2024, spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu announced the opening of the interactive platforms. These technologies are intended to enable individuals to securely report suspected acts of corruption, ensuring public participation in the fight against bribery. This program relies on three important channels: a toll-free helpline, a dedicated website, and an email address.

 Citizens may exchange information directly and easily by calling 0800 900 111, a toll-free number. Furthermore, the website, www.oralgh.org, and email address, public@oralgh.org, provide other ways to submit reports. These initiatives are intended to create a strong system that promotes whistleblowers and builds trust in the new government.

This information will be acted on quickly to properly address concerns. The assurance is meant to inspire a confidence among your people — to prompt other people to come forward with credible information.

Launching these platforms with their commitment to fighting corruption has fallen in sync with President elect Mahama’s long standing belief in doing so. Mahama, during his career, has often promoted the need for ethical governance and integrity and this initiative is an example of how individual value can be nurtured. It also comments on the emphasis of public expectations from his administration to be as transparent and good guys as it can.

Corruption continues to be a major challenge to many governance systems and how effectively it is tackled also depends to a large extent on the willingness of the public and the government to work together. This is in the line with the Mahama administration’s resolve to stamp its foot on corruption and serve its citizens the right to speak with absolute freedom.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu also called on citizens to be proactive in this endeavour and give us credible and actionable information.  “The fight against corruption is the collective responsibility and requires the collaboration of the public and the government institutions” he said. With such active citizens in these platforms, not only will their effectiveness grow stronger, but practical accountability and fairness will become important cultures.
