Following the conclusion of an investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate termination of all contracts between the Government of Ghana and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
The President’s directive was contained in a letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Callistus Mahama, and addressed to the
Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
President Mahama instructed the Finance Minister to take immediate steps to end all existing agreements involving SML.
Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng on Thursday, October 30, 2025, announced that it had concluded its investigation into the SML deal.
The investigation he said uncovered procurement irregularities, contractual overreach, and value for money concerns.
According to findings shared by the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, at a presser in Accra on Thursday, October 30, the investigation revealed that there was no genuine need for engaging SML for the services it purported to perform.
He asserted that the SML contracts were secured through “self-serving official patronage, sponsorship, and promotion based on false and unverified claims.”
The company has however denied engaging in any wrongdoing.
A statement issued by SML on Friday, October 31, 2025, revealed that they had “fully cooperated with all lawful investigations” and called for public discussions to be grounded in verified facts rather than speculation.
“We will present all relevant documents before the appropriate authorities. We remain proud of the work done, the controls that governed it, and the measurable value created for Ghana.”
