CSOs challenge KPMG’s claim linking rise in petroleum consumption to SML

Some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have disputed auditing firm KPMG’s claim that any increase in the country’s petroleum consumption should be attributed to Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).

ACEP, IMANI, and ILAPI are demanding “an open forum to show that the weight of expert opinion in Ghana is against any such flawed reasoning.”

Writing on behalf of the CSOs, Bright Simons said, “The Presidency’s “whitepaper” also acknowledges that substantial work must be done to determine the country’s needs before the award of any contracts for revenue assurance in the “downstream” fuel market (especially the linkages between the wholesale depots and fuel retail outlets).

“We dispute their apparent claim that any increase in petroleum consumption in Ghana should be attributed to SML.

We demand an open forum to show that the weight of expert opinion in Ghana is against any such flawed reasoning.”
