The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has accused President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government of aiding the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, to leave the country.
This allegation comes on the back of the controversial agreement signed between the GRA and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), which is currently undergoing an audit by KPMG, as per the President’s instructions.
Ablakwa, in a Twitter post, claims that less than 24 hours after Akufo-Addo’s declaration on January 2, 2024, the Commissioner-General, who approved the questionable SML contract, was allowed to travel abroad with his entire immediate family.
The MP urged the president to explain to the Ghanaian public the circumstances under which the Commissioner-General is permitted to travel at this particular time.
“President Akufo-Addo must immediately offer a sincere explanation to Ghanaians on the circumstances under which the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Adu Owusu-Amoah who signed the dubious SML contract was allowed to travel out of the country with his entire nuclear family less than 24 hours after Akufo-Addo’s 2nd January 2024.”
SML SCANDAL— WHY IS THE AKUFO-ADDO/BAWUMIA GOVERNMENT PRETENDING THEY HAVEN’T ASSISTED THE GRA BOSS & HIS FAMILY TO RUN OUT OF THE COUNTRY?
Can the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government stop the despicable deception that they are seriously investigating the SML/GRA scandal.
