GRA-SML contract: Government is hiding something – Arthur Kennedy

Arthur Kobina Kennedy, a physician and a leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has voiced concerns that the government might be concealing certain details regarding the contract between Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

Arthur Kennedy suggested that this lack of transparency could be aimed at masking illegalities within the contract and its potential negative impact on the Ghanaian populace.

He urged the government to release the full KPMG audit report to the public, stating that transparency is crucial, especially concerning matters involving public funds and contracts.

Kennedy emphasized that transparency enables citizens to understand the implications of governmental decisions.

"It appears that the government is trying to hide something.

SML, however, contests these findings, asserting that the report overall justifies the contract.

Following the president’s issuance of a statement revealing limited details contained the report, there is a growing public call for the release of the full report by the government.
