The Executive Secretary of the Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana (IEAG), Samson Asaki Awingobit, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to immediately terminate the contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority(GRA) and strategic Mobilization Ghana Limited(SML).
He said this at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday 4th June 2025.
Samson Asaki Awingobit noted that despite a presidential directive issued in April 2024 suspending SML’s upstream petroleum and mineral resources contract due to serious concerns raised in the fourth Estate’s Investigative reports and a subsequent KPMG audit, they have verifiable information that SML continues to be paid over 1.43 million every month under the downstream petroleum contract.
According to him at the time when government is doing its best to address financial waste and stabilize the country’s economy, SML is being paid 1.4 million every month, money that could build schools ,hospitals, roads or reduce the cost of doing business.
He called on stakeholders to join hands to push government to terminate the contract.
