OSP carries out searches at SML offices in ongoing suspected corruption probe
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has commenced a search at the offices of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML), according to information available to Myjoyonline.
The search being carried out under court orders was supported by personnel from the National Security Secretariat.
Sources indicate that the OSP is in the advanced stages of its investigation into the controversial SML contract and is interested in electronic information from the company’s servers.
The search has been carried out simultaneously at the Osu and Tema offices of SML in Accra.
This comes at a time when the OSP’s pursuit of the former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, to answer questions on some transactions, including the SML deal, has reached a difficult point, forcing the Special Prosecutor to declare him a fugitive from justice.
