SML Founder Not a Political Proxy – Lawyer Clarifies Amid Public Scrutiny
JHNews || The defense comes as the SML saga continues to stir debate over state contracts, accountability, and the influence of political networks in Ghana’s private sector.
HENRY GERCHI 
Accra – November 6, 2025:
The legal counsel for the founder of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) has dismissed claims that his client is a political front for any government figure, insisting that the businessman is an independent entrepreneur who built his company through legitimate enterprise.
In a statement addressing recent reports following President Mahama’s directive to terminate SML’s contracts with the government, the lawyer emphasized that SML’s operations and success were grounded in innovation and professionalism, not political connections.
He further criticized what he described as a politically charged narrative aimed at tarnishing his client’s reputation, urging the public to allow investigations and facts to prevail over speculation.
