The Executive Director of the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), Madam Mary Addah, has said that persons who have committed wrongdoings in the contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) have to be held accountable.
To her, it cannot be business as usual for people to go free despite their wrong actions.
“If there have been breaches, people will have to be held accountable,” Mary Addah said on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 on Thursday, May 23.
She was commenting on the full report on the agreement between the GRA and the SML that was released by the president yesterday, Wednesday, May 22.
The report mentioned among other things that the GRA entered into six service agreements with SML without gaining approval from the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) contrary to the Public Procurement Act.
It also said there was no evidence of parliamentary approval for the award of a multi-year contract. Similarly, there was no evidence that contracts in 2018 and 2019 were submitted to the GRA board for consideration and approval.
