Isaac Boamah Nyarko, Member of Parliament for Effia, has challenged the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over its repeated public statements regarding the controversial revenue assurance contracts between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
The comments come as the OSP is preparing to prosecute several individuals implicated in the SML contracts by the end of November 2025. Those expected to face charges include former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, and former GRA Commissioner-Generals Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah and Emmanuel Kofi Nti, as well as other senior GRA officials and former finance ministry advisors.
Investigations by the OSP have revealed alleged corruption, abuse of office, and breaches of procurement laws in the award and execution of the SML contracts.
Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng has described the agreements as “blighted by statutory breaches,” noting that SML lacked the infrastructure and capacity to provide the services it was contracted to deliver.
Speaking on Citi FM’s The Big Issue on Saturday November 1, Mr. Nyarko questioned why the OSP continues to make public pronouncements without bringing formal charges to court.
“For almost one year now, you come to the public domain making press releases and statements. Why don’t you go with your charges in court?” he asked.
