President John Dramani Mahama directed the termination of all existing SML contracts
Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) has formally petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to review the government’s decision to terminate its revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), insisting that the company has acted lawfully and delivered value to the state.
The petition follows a recent report by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), which labelled the SML-GRA contract as irregular and alleged it shortchanged the nation of GH¢2.6 billion and US$173 million, leading to the cancellation of all contracts by President Mahama.
However, SML has rejected these claims, describing the report as “misinformed, speculative, and prejudicial.”
Speaking to the media on Friday, November 7, SML’s lawyer, Cephas Boyuoh, indicated that the report has already been delivered to the President for further review.
“We delivered a comprehensive response to the President of the Republic of Ghana on his directive for the contract between the MoF/GRA and SML to be terminated, which hinged largely on the OSP’s report. In the letter submitted to the Presidency and the Attorney General (AG), we provided documentary evidence to each and every paragraph and elaborated on the accurate and true picture of the MoF/GRA and SML contract,” he stated.
He added, “We are confident that a review of the documents presented to the President and the AG would help them appreciate matters and form a fair and independent opinion on the termination directive.”
SML further argued that the company had fully funded the project from its own resources.
The company insisted that its operations were transparent and in full compliance with regulatory and technical requirements, adding that it has engaged with relevant agencies, including the Ghana Revenue Authority, the National Petroleum Authority, and the Ghana Standards Authority.
