The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has revealed that contracts awarded to Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Ministry of Finance were secured through self-serving official patronage rather than any genuine operational need. The report said that the investigations revealed no legitimate basis for contracting SML to perform the functions it claimed to provide. According to the report, the contracts were promoted and secured through official sponsorship based on false and unverified claims about SML’s technical capacity and performance. "The SML contracts were attended by egregious statutory breaches as mandatory prior approvals were wantonly disregarded by relevant officials who acted with increased emboldened impunity," it said. On October 31, 2025, following the presentation of the investigation’s outcome, the President directed the immediate cancellation of all public procurement contracts awarded to SML by the GRA and the Ministry of Finance.
