GRA denies reports of SML's expanded mandate in upstream petroleum and minerals

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has denied reports about Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd. (SML).

Reports claimed that SML expanded its revenue oversight to the upstream petroleum and solid minerals sectors.

On May 14, 2025, GRA issued a statement regarding this matter.

They noted that SML's services in these sectors were suspended in April 2024.

This suspension is still in effect.

GRA clarified that it did not instruct SML to resume operations.

The authority emphasized that the suspension remains active under the 2023 contract.

This clarification follows recent reports about SML's supposed expansion of its mandate.

GRA reassured stakeholders and the public of its commitment to revenue protection.

They promised to uphold integrity and transparency in their operations.
