Former National Youth Organiser of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh Jnr., has slammed the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government over the suspicious 500 million dollar deal between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and an IT company, Subah Infosolutions.

The deal which was published in the Monday edition of the Chronicle newspaper dubbed "Create, Loot and Share" was reported not to have been "authorized by the appropriate government officials."

The controversial contract, which was executed based on sole sourcing, is worth $100 million a year, for five years.

"I have instructed the Minister of Finance and Minister for Justice and Attorney General to review and advice on a suspension of the contract with Subah Isofosolutions, seeing as the contract was not signed by the appropriate authorized Government representative," President John Mahama said in a statement he issued last Friday after an interaction with anti-corruption groups at the Flagstaff House.

The President further directed that "all sole sourcing contracts worth more than Ghc5 million should be referred to Cabinet for approval before any deal is signed to commit the government."

Speaking on Peace FM's “Kokrokoo” programme on Monday, Kabila expressed disgust over the deal and requested an inquiry into the issue. According to him, the GRA did not conduct itself properly. He therefore sought for the rationale behind the deal.

“Through what means - since SUBAH didn’t have access to the Telecom company’s notes or their operational centers - Through what means was SUBAH able to monitor Expresso, VODAFONE, MTN, AIRTEL, GLO and TIGO, and as a result of that, they were able to check incoming calls internally and outgoing calls (internal calls)…? Or did they use magic?” he questioned, calling on the government to be swift in coming forth with answers.
