On Wednesday, May 22, President Akufo-Addo released the KPMG audit report on the contentious contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML).

This disclosure came after weeks of pressure from Ghanaians, including civil society organizations, demanding transparency regarding the numerous infractions in the contract.

The audit findings revealed that SML owes the GRA GH¢31.88 million in unpaid taxes for eight months of service provision.

This debt includes accrued interest, which is estimated at GH¢18.50 million as of January 31, 2024. All these contracts lacked approval from both the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) and Parliament.

Additionally, the report disclosed that the GRA had six service contracts with SML, contradicting the presidency's initial claim of only three contracts.

This discrepancy sharply contrasts with information previously stated in a press release by the Communications Director of the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, on April 24.

The revelations have sparked significant public outrage, with many Ghanaians calling for the immediate cancellation of the deal and the prosecution of those responsible.

In response to these developments, host Samson Lardy Anyenini and his panelists will discuss and share their views on the matter during the program.

Again, the panelists will address the transaction between the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) and Agriculture Minister, Bryan Acheampong.

This controversy revolves around the sale of SSNIT’s 60 percent shares in four hotels to Bryan Acheampong’s company, Rock City.
