The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, has formally requested legal advice from the Minister for Justice and Attorney-General on several contracts signed under the Ministry.
This move is in alignment with the President's vision of zero tolerance for corruption and ensuring value for money in all public-private partnerships.
In a memo issued on Wednesday, February 12, it noted that the Minister is seeking a "legal opinion on the terms, compliance, and viability of the contracts related to the commercialisation of the e-Government Infrastructure Contract, awarded to Messrs Lebara Ghana Ltd Smart Infraco Ghana Ltd."
Additionally, a legal review has been requested for the Contract for the Design, Development, and Implementation of a Common Platform for Traffic Monitoring, Revenue Assurance, Mobile Money Monitoring, and Fraud Management, executed by Messrs Kelni GVG Ltd.
This marks the first phase of legal review of contracts signed and executed within the Ministry.
According to the memo, the public will be duly informed of the Attorney General’s response and any subsequent actions taken following the legal review.
