Prof. Gyampo Urges Akufo-Addo to Release KPMG’s Report on SML/GRA Contract

Political Science Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Prof. Ransford Gyampo, is urging President Akufo-Addo to release the KPMG audit report regarding the revenue mobilization contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML).

Prof. Gyampo underscored the significance of transparency and accountability, affirming that Ghanaians deserve to be informed about the findings of the report.

In an open letter to President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday, April 3rd, Prof. Gyampo urged the President to release the report promptly, stressing that withholding such vital information undermines the trust of the citizens.

He emphasized that openness and transparency are vital for effective governance and urged President Akufo-Addo to adhere to the principles of democratic leadership by disclosing the contents of the audit report to the public.

“Dear President Akufo Addo, I am told KPMG has submitted its report on the SML deal. Given that there were serious allegations of corruption about the deal by a media house, I write as a Citizen to respectfully remind you that, you cannot sit on the report.”

“The good people of Ghana have the RIGHT to know the contents of the report, and this is a simple truism that must not elude any government that believes in the dogmas of accountability and transparency.”
