Govt Settle GH¢95 Million Judgment Debt to West Blue Consulting Over Terminated Contract

The government is set to settle a judgment debt of GH¢95 million to IT consultancy firm, West Blue Consulting, following the termination of its contract.

From 2015 to 2020, West Blue Consulting rendered technical and support services to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), facilitated by the Ministry of Finance.

The termination of the contract led West Blue to take legal action against the government, seeking payment for an outstanding debt amounting to GH¢289.

The award to West Blue was confirmed by the Commissioner General of GRA, Julie Essiam, during a public accounts committee meeting.

Ms Essiam noted that “Indeed, the judgement debt is GH¢95 million. We will not to be able to pay all GH¢95 million and therefore the agreement with the court is to pay these in three installments.”
