President Akufo-Addo receives KPMG audit report on GRA-SML contracts, suspends activities, calls for transparency.
President Akufo-Addo has received the KPMG audit report on the transactions between Ghana's tax authority, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML). KPMG was commissioned to investigate the contract in January following concerns raised about the deals between GRA and SML. The President has since directed the Ministry of Finance and GRA to suspend all activities related to the contracts, including any payments specified under their terms, and is currently reviewing the audit report's findings. The audit report's release has sparked calls for transparency and accountability, with University of Ghana Political Science Lecturer, Prof. Ransford Gyampo, urging President Akufo-Addo to make the report public.
