It is pointless to publish KPMG’s full report – Afenyo-Markin

Majority in Parliament has rejected demands for the complete disclosure of the KPMG report on the GRA and SML contracts.

After the audit report was submitted on April 24, 2024, a statement from the Presidency disclosed that the total fees paid under the contracts from 2018 until the suspension date exceeded one billion Ghana cedis.

However, SML has denied this assertion.

In response, the NDC has joined the chorus calling for President Akufo-Addo to release the full audit report.

Addressing reporters, Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin argued that the full report serves as an advisory document for the President in decision-making; hence, it would be inappropriate to make it public.

“There’s no doubt in our minds that the document is for advisory purposes; it is an opinion that is guiding Mr. President in decision-making. So, it is not within the rights of anybody to demand it.

“Much as it is in the law that members of the public have the right to receive public documents for the sake of transparency and good governance.

It is also a Bonafide document of the president to give this advice, and opinion to himself,” the Majority leader said.
