In a bold and decisive move, President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the immediate termination of all contracts between the Government of Ghana and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
This follows the conclusion of a far-reaching investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) into the company’s dealings with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). According to inside sources, the OSP’s report uncovered serious procurement breaches, irregularities, and possible acts of corruption within the controversial SML-GRA revenue assurance contracts.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor has announced plans to press criminal charges by the end of November 2025 against several high-profile figures who allegedly played roles in the deal.
Those expected to face prosecution include:
Ken Ofori-Atta, Former Minister of Finance Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, Current GRA Commissioner-General Emmanuel Kofi Nti, Former GRA Commissioner-General Isaac Crentsil, GRA Official Kwadwo Damoa, GRA Official Ernest Akore, Former Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance
The termination marks one of President Mahama’s strongest anti-corruption actions since assuming office, signaling his administration’s readiness to restore accountability and transparency in public financial management.
Government officials have stated that further audits will be conducted to recover all funds misappropriated through the SML contracts and to prevent similar incidents in future procurement processes.
The public now awaits the OSP’s next steps as the nation braces for what could become one of the biggest corruption trials in Ghana’s recent history.
