Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) has responded to recent public commentary following the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) October 30 briefing, reaffirming its commitment to fully cooperate with all lawful review processes.
The company urged that discussions surrounding Ghana’s revenue mobilisation be based on verified facts rather than speculation.
In a statement released on Friday, October 31, 2025, and issued by its Communications Department, SML expressed confidence in its operations, stating it remains “proud of the work done, the systems that guided it, and the measurable value delivered to Ghana.”
SML’s Lead Counsel emphasized that all relevant documents will be presented to the appropriate authorities, highlighting the importance of fairness, transparency, and evidence in shaping public discourse.
The company clarified that it is wholly Ghanaian-owned, denying claims of political ownership or control, and described as “inaccurate and misleading” any reports suggesting links to political figures.
Detailing its engagement with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), SML explained that its risk-and-reward service contracts were designed to enhance revenue mobilisation through measurable, data-driven outcomes. These services include transaction audits, petroleum measurement audits, and upcoming initiatives for upstream petroleum and solid minerals monitoring.
“All payments made to SML were tied to verified deliverables under continuous GRA supervision,” the statement said, noting that oversight mechanisms such as data validation and reconciliation were applied before any disbursement.
SML also challenged the OSP’s reported figure of GH¢125 million allegedly to be recovered by the state, asserting that, based on reconciled data and verified performance metrics, the government instead owes the company.
The statement highlighted that SML’s downstream petroleum audit system has generated an estimated GH¢20 billion in verified revenue for Ghana, contributing to a 92% increase in taxable volumes and a 33% rise in import clearance revenue.
SML emphasized that its work complements existing state systems rather than duplicating them, noting that the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has certified its petroleum monitoring technology as accurate and effective.
The company dismissed reports linking it to the defunct West Blue Consulting, clarifying that Ghana Link’s ICUMS platform replaced West Blue’s system, not SML’s.
SML also explained its name change from Strategic Mobilisation Enhancement Limited (SMEL) to Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) as a legitimate rebranding decision aimed at clarity and simplicity.
The company reaffirmed its dedication to supporting Ghana’s revenue mobilisation through technology, accountability, and professional excellence.
“SML represents a Ghanaian innovation success — a private enterprise that takes operational risks under a performance-based framework and receives payment only after verified results,” the statement concluded.
