The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilization Ghana Ltd. transactions audit report, prepared by KPMG, has been given to President Akufo-Addo (SML).
Following a documentary by the Fourth Estate that revealed how SML was reportedly receiving billions of dollars from the state for little to no work, the president authorized KPMG in January to carry out an emergency audit of the transaction between GRA and SML.
The Ministry of Finance signed into the contract in order to improve revenue assurance throughout the value chain of minerals and metals resources, upstream petroleum production, and downstream petroleum sector.
According to a statement released on Wednesday, April 2, by Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communication at the Office of the President, President Akufo-Addo would shortly make his decision public following review of the report.
“The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Wednesday, 27 March 2024, received from KPMG its report on the audit conducted, at the behest of the president, on the transactions between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML),” the statement said.
“President Akufo-Addo is studying the findings of the audit report, and will, in due course, make his decisions known to the Ghanaian people.”
