Communications Minister, Samuel Nartey George has written to the office of the Attorney-General requesting for advice on a number of contracts signed under the erstwhile Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
In a statement by the Ministry on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, Sam George wants the Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine to conduct a legal review of these contracts in line with President Mahama’s vision of zero tolerance for corruption and value for money on all public-private partnerships.
Sam George has asked the Attorney General for a legal opinion on the contracts for the commercialisation of the e-Government Infrastructure Contract by Messrs Lebara Ghana Ltd and Smart Infraco Ghana Ltd.
Also, he wants a legal review on the contract for the Design, Development, and Implementation of a Common Platform for Traffic Monitoring, Revenue Assurance, Mobile Money Monitoring, and Fraud Management by Messrs Kelni GVG Ltd.
The Ministry says this is the first phase of legal reviews of contracts signed and executed under the Ministry and would notify public of the responses from the Attorney General and any subsequent action.
