The Accra High Court has granted bail to Colonel Kwadwo Damoah (Rtd), former Commissioner-General of Customs and MP for Jaman South, in the ongoing criminal case brought by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over the controversial revenue assurance contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
Damoah, who is accused of causing financial loss to the state, was charged with 10 counts of wilfully causing financial loss to the state, conspiracy to commit crime, and contravening procurement laws. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The court, presided over by Justice Charles Mensah, granted Damoah bail in the sum of GH₵50 million with two sureties.
The court also required Damoah to surrender his passport and travel documents to the court registry and have his name placed on the Ghana Immigration Service stop list. Additionally, he is required to report weekly to the lead investigator.
The case has been adjourned to January 29, 2026, and Damoah is expected to comply with the bail conditions until December 31, 2025.
The OSP had earlier frozen Damoah’s bank accounts and seized his passport as part of investigation into the SML-GRA contract.
