Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) has moved to address allegations made against it, following the release of an audit assurance report by KPMG that confirmed the company has not received a $100 million payment from the Government.

The Fourth Estate had previously alleged that SML’s contract with the government spanned a decade, with the company purportedly receiving annual payments of $100 million. However, SML has categorically refuted these claims, pointing to the KPMG report as vindication of its position.
