“SML is simply Agyapa in suit and tie”…@BBSimons
Thx to everyone who tuned in. Apparently, what they are calling "underdeclaration" is the fact that some OMCs that had lifted fuel THAT NPA KNEW ABOUT but were not remitting the taxes collected are now remitting more than before. This is simply bcos now, u can't lift if u owe tax
The reason why it is now harder to refuse to pay taxes collected on behalf of the govt is simply because there is now a software system that all orders pass through. So, if you are flagged, you can't lift fuel. SML clearly cannot take credit for that as you all saw on the show.
Dear @fidelitybankgh, In a previous encounter, you were very angry that you weren't contacted about a public interest matter. Maybe, the essay, this time around, is too long, so we have summarised the issues. We need to hear from you about your role in this saga. Thank you.

Few pages but a lot to think about. Telling the baby to clean himself, in essence. This conclusion did not require the expenditure of one cedi of public funds to investigate.

To make it more graphic and simpler, we compared SML claims with consumption data from GRA and NPA. while GRA and NPA data showed similarities SML data was completely off and useless.
How much is GHS 1.06 billion in $s? Generating the discount factor for the past 5 years is some work. Also what other business(s) will give you GHS 1.06 billion in 5yrs with $44m investment. #IMFOurHome @BBSimons
The conclusion that SML contract is “redundant” yet “beneficial” is incongruous. We showed through careful analysis of government’s rscords that NPA data was superior to GRA data used for Revneue assurance. Therefore, there's no Revneue jump attributable to SML @BBSimons

“SML is simply Agyapa in suit and tie”…@BBSimons
Thx to everyone who tuned in. Apparently, what they are calling "underdeclaration" is the fact that some OMCs that had lifted fuel THAT NPA KNEW ABOUT but were not remitting the taxes collected are now remitting more than before. This is simply bcos now, u can't lift if u owe tax
The reason why it is now harder to refuse to pay taxes collected on behalf of the govt is simply because there is now a software system that all orders pass through. So, if you are flagged, you can't lift fuel. SML clearly cannot take credit for that as you all saw on the show.

Coming up at 9pm GMT. Yet another opportunity for folks to catch up on the SML saga. Should Ghana pay a timber merchant more than a $billion for his crew to catch tax thieves? Should it continue paying him tens of millions of dollars to police petrol?
1/ This short essay summarises my new policy paper for Paris-based FDL about shocking discrepancies between the World Bank's reporting about its ~$4bn portfolio & the reality on the ground. It calls for greater CSO involvement. brightsimons.com/2024/04/19/is-…
Few pages but a lot to think about. Telling the baby to clean himself, in essence. This conclusion did not require the expenditure of one cedi of public funds to investigate.
1/ According to Ghana's Prez, KPMG says: A. SML has been paid 1 billion cedis for claiming to stop fraud in petrol distribution in Ghana B. It wants to be paid 5 billion GHS to monitor minerals & oil prod in Ghana C. The contracts were given without proper approvals
To make it more graphic and simpler, we compared SML claims with consumption data from GRA and NPA. while GRA and NPA data showed similarities SML data was completely off and useless.
How much is GHS 1.06 billion in $s? Generating the discount factor for the past 5 years is some work. Also what other business(s) will give you GHS 1.06 billion in 5yrs with $44m investment. #IMFOurHome @BBSimons
