GRA-SML deal: Pay attention to the details – Majority Leader tells NDC

The Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has told the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to pay attention to the details of the contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML)  in order to make founded analysis.

This was after he said that the call by the NDC to prosecute persons involved in the award of the contract was unfounded.

Mr Afenyo-Markin says it is obvious that the NDC have not been following the discussions but are seeking to take political capital out of this issue.

It is recalled that in demending for the rposceition, the National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi also called for the immediate termination of all the illegal contracts entered into between SML and the GRA.

He also called for the retrieval of all payments made by the government to SML under the “illegal agreements” which they said have occasioned a huge financial loss to the State.

“We are also demanding the immediate publication of the full KPMG investigative report on the dealings between SML and the GRA and the prosecution of all persons involved in the award of illegal contracts and the illegal payments thereof, to SML,” Sammy Gyamfi said at a press conference in Accra on Monday April 29.

But addressing a press conference in Accra on Friday May 3, Afenyo-Markin said  “Now we are aware that our friends in the NDC are calling for certain prosecutions. I think that they have not paid attention to the whole issue and they only want to do politics as usual. Their call is unfounded for the simple reason that there isn’t any established proof of any officer of state causing financial loss to the state.
