Five Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are demanding the recovery of over GH₵1 billion paid to Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML). Earlier this year, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo directed audit firm KPMG to investigate the transaction between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and SML. The contract was intended to enhance revenue assurance in the downstream petroleum sector, upstream petroleum production, and the minerals and metals resources value chain. KPMG's audit revealed that the GRA did not obtain the necessary approvals from the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) and Parliament for the contract. As a result, the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP), Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), Human Rights and Governance Centre, and the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) have taken legal action against the government, citing the findings of the KPMG report.
