Using a single-source procurement process, the United Kingdom Company was contracted in 2017 to “review electronic evidence, identify assets abroad and manage a joint Civil and Criminal Assets recovery process.”
By September 2018, $1 million, the equivalent of GH¢4.86 million was made to the company as full payment for its services.
However, the Auditor-General, Daniel Domelovo challenged the arrangement with the explanation that by Ghana’s 1992 Constitution, the contract required parliamentary approval because it involved a foreign company.
Mr Domelevo also said Mr Osafo-Maafo’s reply to his queries over the contract with Kroll Associates to provide consultancy services was unsatisfactory.
