Office of the Special Prosecutor defended searching Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited offices for investigation documents. Samuel Appiah Darko said investigators needed papers about the Ghana Revenue Authority contract dispute. The agency used court warrants after SML refused to share requested files voluntarily. OSP officers signed seizure forms with company representatives during the search operation. No property suffered damage during the document collection process.

SML staff learned they faced no arrests and could cooperate throughout the search. Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni filed the petition that started the corruption investigation. The Special Prosecutor paused the probe to respect President Akufo-Addo's separate KPMG audit. Media Foundation for West Africa requested the audit report through Right to Information laws. President Akufo-Addo initially denied access but later released the full KPMG findings publicly.

The controversy centers around downstream petroleum revenue contracts between government agencies and private companies. OSP continues investigating potential corruption and conflict of interest cases. Darko insisted external groups do not influence their investigation work. Public scrutiny increased after the president made audit results available to citizens. Revenue oversight contracts face serious questions about proper government procedures.
