President John Dramani Mahama has directed a comprehensive review and possible renegotiation of the contract between the National Lottery Authority (NLA) and the KGL Group, citing the need to safeguard public interest and ensure transparency in state partnerships.
The directive, issued through appropriate government channels, mandates relevant state institutions to examine the terms and conditions governing the agreement, particularly its financial, operational, and regulatory implications for the lottery sector.
According to government sources, the review is intended to determine whether the existing contract aligns with current national policy objectives, delivers value for money, and protects the long-term interests of the state. The process will also assess compliance with procurement regulations and contractual obligations by all parties involved.
President Mahama’s decision forms part of his broader agenda to strengthen oversight of public-private partnerships and reform state revenue-generating agencies. The lottery sector, which plays a significant role in domestic revenue mobilization , has in recent years attracted public debate over management, digitization, and private sector involvement.
