Three former top officials of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), including the immediate past Commissioner-General, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, have been arrested by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in connection with ongoing investigations into the controversial Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) contracts.
The other two arrested are Dr. Isaac Crentsil and Christian Tetteh Sottie, both former senior executives at the GRA.
According to a statement from the OSP, the arrests are part of a broader probe into alleged corruption and related offences tied to revenue assurance contracts awarded by the GRA to SML. Investigators are also examining claims by SML that its services have significantly boosted national revenue.
The arrests come amid heightened public and parliamentary scrutiny of the SML deal, which has drawn concerns over potential financial irregularities and the integrity of the contracting process.
