GRA
The Ghana Revenue Authority(GRA) has refuted claims suggesting its director general has absconded over the SML/GRA investigations.
North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa had said GRA boss Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah has left the country.
However a statement issued by the GRA on Thursday (11 January) said the GRA boss has not absconded and will resume work on Monday 15 January.
“The attention of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has been drawn to a Facebook post
by Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and an online publication by ghextractives.com on
Wednesday, January 10, 2024, captioned, “Ablakwa writes: GRA boss “absconds”
over SML/GRA investigations”.
“Management of the GRA wishes to categorically state that, the Commissioner-General of
GRA, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, has not absconded as stated in the said
publication.”
“The Commissioner-General is currently on a scheduled six (6) day leave which had been
approved a month ago. Rev. Dr. Owusu-Amoah will resume work on Monday, 15th
January, 2024. While on leave, every engagement that is required of him or GRA in the
Audit by KPMG is being diligently attended to either by himself or one of the
commissioners,” the GRA statement said.
