Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) has submitted a detailed response to President John Dramani Mahama regarding his directive to terminate all contracts between the company, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The company’s response comes after the President, through a letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Callistus Mahama, directed the immediate termination of all agreements involving SML, following the conclusion of an OSP investigation.
The investigation alleged procurement irregularities, contractual overreach, and questioned the genuine need for SML’s engagement.
Speaking to journalists in Accra on Friday, November 7, Cephas Boyuo, solicitor for SML, said the submission included comprehensive documentary evidence addressing each paragraph of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) report that formed the basis for the termination directive.
He added that a careful review of the documents would allow the President and the Attorney General to form a fair and independent opinion on the termination directive.
“Earlier this afternoon, we delivered a comprehensive response to the President on his directive for the contract between the Ministry of Finance, GRA, and SML to be terminated, which hinged largely on the report of the OSP.
“In the letter submitted to the President and also to the Attorney General, we provided documentary evidence to each and every paragraph and elaborated on the true and accurate picture of the GRA-Ministry of Finance-SML contract,” Boyuo said.
“We are confident that a review of the documents presented to the President and the Attorney-General would help them appreciate the matters and form a fair, independent opinion on the termination directive,” he added.
