The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, Togbe Afede XIV, has urged the government to step up its anti-corruption efforts, warning that graft remains one of the greatest threats to Ghana’s development.

Speaking at a sod-cutting ceremony for the redevelopment of the Atimpoku–Asikuma–Anyirawase–Ho–Denu–Aflao road in Ho on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, Togbe Afede welcomed the government’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative but said more decisive measures are required.

“The government needs to be fighting corruption head-on. I am glad, so far, of the ORAL project. This big initiative, complemented by exciting policies such as the 24-hour economy, will deliver the development we want and continue to make Ghana an example for Africa,” he said.

The traditional ruler stressed that pairing strong anti-corruption action with transformative programmes like the 24-hour economy could drive economic growth, create jobs, and restore public trust in governance.
