Lawyer for Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML), Cephas Boyuo, has described as baseless claims by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that GH¢125 million is to be recovered from the company.
Addressing a press conference on Friday, November 7, SML’s lawyer, Cephas Boyuo, explained that the OSP’s assertion lacks factual and legal foundation and is only fueling unnecessary public sentiment against SML.
“The OSP’s assertion that GH¢125 million is to be recovered by the state from SML has no factual and evidentiary basis. It is mere conjecture and only whips up unnecessary sentiments,” he said.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), during a presser on Thursday, October 30, announced that it plans to recover a total of GHS125 million from Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML), following findings that the company received overpayments from the state.
But the Boyuo argued that a letter from GRA proves that the company fulfilled the revenue assurance contracts with the Ghana Revenue Authority and performed all contractual obligations.
“In fact, the latest letter from the GRA, dated October 14, clearly states that SML has discharged all its duties. SML did everything required under the agreement,” he stated.
