Ghanaian Government Investigates $500 Million Contract Following SML Office Raid

Raid on SML Offices in Ghana Sparks Investigation: The Office of the Special Prosecutor conducted a raid on the offices of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) in Osu and Tema on Tuesday. The raid is part of an ongoing investigation into a controversial $500 million contract. Sources familiar with the operation told TV3 that the OSP is in the advanced stages of its probe and is focused on retrieving electronic evidence from SML. The contract is among several deals under scrutiny as the OSP investigates suspected financial irregularities linked to former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta. The OSP recently declared Mr. Ofori-Atta unfit for office, citing his failure to respond to multiple summons. The raid highlights the ongoing efforts to combat corruption and ensure transparency in government contracts in Ghana. The investigation continues.
