GRA/SML Contract: 'A Lot of Media Guys Have Become Mercenaries' - Dennis Miracles On False Report

Director of Local Government Services at the Office of the President, Dennis Miracles Aboagye has rebuked the Fourth Estate over what has now become a false publication by the website regarding the GRA/SML contract.The Fourth Estate accused the Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) of many infractions in their dealings which prompted the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to direct KMPG, an audit firm, to look into the issue and ascertain the truth.SML was accused of receiving $100 million from the government among other malfeasances but the KPMG report has exonerated the company.According to the report, there was no payment of $100 million and it also goes to tell the allegations cited in the publication against SML were untrue.Addressing the issue during Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show on Thursday, April 25, 2024, Dennis Miracles commended the President for establishing the truth using KPMG, a reliable audit firm."What he has done is a testament to the kind of person that he is...it's a lot of boldness that will make a President take such a decision.

You need a lot of boldness, confidence, courage before you say I should give a matter of this sort to KPMG," he lauded the President.However, Dennis was alarmed by the Fourth Estate's publication wondering why they would fabricate stories to tarnish the image of SML, a Ghanaian-owned company.He expressed worry about the amount of damage that has been done to SML due to the Fourth Estate's reportage that, to him, was to smear the company and its owner, stressing many Ghanaians bought into the lies and although the company has been cleared of any wrongdoings, it may be difficult for them to erase the misconception and wrong perceptions of Ghanaians about the company."A lot of media guys have become mercenaries...They are for the highest bidder," he established, asking "why do we do this to ourselves?"Dennis Miracles offered advice to Ghanaians not to believe everything they are told and also cautioned the media against debasing people."My advice to myself and all Ghanaians is that, in this country, always go and read the story behind the headlines.

Always read the story behind the headlines; if you don't do that, you would constantly look stupid all the time.

Orchestration of evil against some fellow citizens is problematic," he said.
