According to a report, a reorganization is anticipated to affect the Ghana Revenue Authority’s top management (GRA).
According to the Asaaseradio.com report, this reorganization is expected to have an impact on Colonel Kwadwo Damoah (Rtd), who has been charged in the Labianca case according to a Special Prosecutor report.
The Ghana Revenue Authority’s current Commissioner-General, Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, is likewise not likely to have his contract renewed.
The statutory retirement age has been reached by these two.
The reason given by Asaase for the shake is that the “presidency has been markedly reluctant in this second term to renew contracts of appointees who have attained their retirement age.”
After investigations linked the Special Prosecutor’s office to corrupt activities involving Labianca Company Limited, Colonel Kwadwo Damoah (Ret.), Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), took a shot at the Special Prosecutor.
Speaking at a Customs Division Management Retreat in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region, the Commissioner of Customs described the report as “hollow” and one that does not contain any substance. He added that the reason for the OSP’s investigative report was because he did not permit one Mr. Akrugu to be seconded to the SP’s office.
He claimed that since the Almighty God is on his side, any attempts by the Special Prosecutor to bring him down will fail.
“Three days ago a report purported to be coming from the Office of the Special Prosecutor trying to indict the Deputy Commissioner of Operations and myself [but] anybody who has read that report very well will know the basis of that,” he said while addressing some Senior Customs officers at the retreat.
“And luckily for Me, God is always on my side, before that report came, that person had made a comment to some people who had come to tell me [that] he [Special Prosecutor] was going to publish (a report) that will discredit me…
“I even sent people to go and tell him that he is a small boy and I am older than him, I have lived a meaningful life and if he attempts to destroy me, it won’t be easy for him. People have tried and I have survived and this one too I will survive it,” he said.
