The Centre for Democratic Development Ghana (CDD-Ghana) has expressed satisfaction with the release of the KPMG report regarding the contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML).
Director of Advocacy and Policy Engagement at CDD-Ghana, Dr. Kojo Pumpuni Asante commended the report’s release, stating that it sets a constructive model.
“I think the release is important. It sets a good precedent but we should expect that there should be proactive disclosure from the Presidency once it took the matter up and said it was in the public interest to do that,” he said.
He emphasized the importance of holding accountable those involved in such matters to prevent infractions within the system. Despite the report’s release, questions remain regarding the value-for-money arrangement between SML and GRA, particularly regarding SML’s investments justifying the fee-for-performance arrangement.
“So I have many questions that I think need to be followed up to allow this arrangement to go in whatever way that we are thinking about’” he added.
Dr. Asante highlighted the need for proactive disclosure from the Presidency and called for further follow-up to ensure transparency and accountability in the arrangement.
