The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has arrested three former senior officials of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as part of ongoing investigations into the controversial Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) contracts.
Among those in custody are Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, former Commissioner-General of the GRA, Isaac Crentsil, ex-Commisioner of Custom and now General Manager at SML and Christian Tetteh Sottie, former Technical Advisor and now MD/CEO of SML.
In a statement released by the OSP on Wednesday, June 25, the arrests are in connection with suspected corruption and related offences involving revenue assurance contracts awarded to SML.
The investigation aims to determine the legality and financial impact of the agreements, including claims by SML that its operations have led to substantial revenue savings for the country.
The arrests come amid heightened public scrutiny and calls for accountability over the SML contracts, which have sparked concerns about possible financial impropriety and irregularities in their execution.
