OSP declares former Finance Ministry Advisor wanted over GRA-SML contract probe

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has declared 67-year-old Ernest Darko Akore wanted in connection with an ongoing investigation into suspected corruption and related offenses linked to the controversial Revenue Assurance Contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML).

Mr. Akore, a former Chef de Cabinet (Technical Advisor) at the Ministry of Finance, is the subject of an active arrest warrant issued by the High Court (Criminal Division) under suit number CR/0397/2025, in the case titled Republic v Ernest D. Akore.

The OSP issued a public notice on the matter, urging anyone with information on Mr. Akore’s whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or the Special Prosecutor’s office.

This latest development forms part of a broader investigation into the GRA–SML deal, which has faced widespread scrutiny over alleged procurement breaches, lack of transparency, and possible financial irregularities.
