Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng has announced that it will officially file charges against individuals implicated in the revenue assurance contracts between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
Addressing the press on Thursday, October 30, 2025, he said the charges would be filed by the end of November 2025.
Individuals expected to be prosecuted are former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, and current and former Commissioner-Generals of the GRA — Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah and Emmanuel Kofi Nti — who are all GRA officials.
The others are Isaac Crentsil and Kwadwo Damoa. Ernest Akore, former Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance, will also be charged by the Special Prosecutor.
Mr. Agyebeng stated that the decision to charge these individuals follows an extensive investigation into the contract.
Among other issues, the OSP uncovered alleged acts of corruption, abuse of office, and breaches of procurement laws in the award and execution of the SML-GRA contracts.
Evidence gathered by the OSP, he stated, exposed alleged criminal conduct on the part of some officials during the negotiation, approval, and implementation of the contracts.
The OSP is expected to formally announce the specific charges and commence legal proceedings in the coming weeks.
He said there were also statutory breaches, conflicts of interest, and unjustified payments tied to the SML agreements.
“There was no genuine need for contracting SML for the work it purported to perform,” the Special Prosecutor said adding the SML contracts were “blighted by statutory breaches,” adding that the company lacked both the infrastructure and professional competence to deliver the services it was contracted to provide.
