Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority, Professor Ransford Gyampo, has dismissed claims made by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) regarding his alleged interference during a raid on Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML).
In a Facebook post dated June 23, 2025, Prof Gyampo rejected assertions by the Office of Special Prosecutor (OSP)that he had contacted its office while officers were conducting a lawful search of SML premises in collaboration with National Security.
“Kissi, I didn’t call your office, I called YOU and we never spoke on phone because you said you couldn’t speak and that you were going to call back.I texted you just to caution you not to cause financial loss to the state even as you go about your investigations, which I fully favor.
“Given what I have heard from across the political divide about your possible intentions, I only expressed the hope that your intentions are patriotic and not personal, that’s all. But the bit that talks about me calling your office and insinuating that perhaps I called to ask you to do something untoward is unfair and makes me then doubt your intentions the more”, he added.
Prof Gyampo further indicated that he would circulate WhatsApp exchanges between himself and the Special Prosecutor to prove that his concern was focused on preventing financial loss to the state, not influencing the probe.
The Facebook post was a response to a June 22, 2025, statement from the OSP, which rejected Prof Gyampo’s earlier comments on TV3’s Keypoints, where he questioned the OSP motives behind Ken Ofori-Atta’s investigation.
The OSP, in a statement on June 22, 2025, maintained that its investigation into Ken Ofori-Atta is based on “stated allegations of corruption and corruption-related offences, particularly abuse of office for profit, including the multiple-year contract awarded to Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML).
The former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has been declared a wanted fugitive by the OSP and is under investigation for several corruption-related offences connected to the awarding of revenue assurance contracts to SML during his time as Minister of Finance.
