Tema collection misses annual target
The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue
Authority (GRA) at Tema in the Greater Accra
Region missed its revenue target for the year.

Officials say the Tema Collection, which is the
backbone of the country’s revenue collection
efforts, mobilized GH?7,334,174,613.10 against a
target of GH?7,690.380.000.00.

It narrowly missed its target by 4.63 percent.

The Tema Sector Commander, Assistant Commissioner
of the Division, Confidence Nyadzi, disclosed this
at the Tema Collection Awards Night 2016.

According to him, his outfit would streamline its
supervisory role in order to meet the target this
year.

He noted that media capacity building and
stakeholder’s engagement would be prioritized by
the Tema Collection.

Motivation is key to improving performance levels,
and it is the main reason for organizing the
awards night to acknowledge the hard work of
personnel and also encourage other staff to
emulate the award winners, he added.

George Blankson, Commissioner General of GRA, who
was the special guest, called on the officers to
discharge their duties excellently to enhance
revenue mobilization.

He urged all public servants to perform creditably
to meet the high expectations of the populace and
the government.

“We must bear in mind everything we do at this
period of change and more is expected of us than
before because we need to meet the higher
expectations of the government and the
citizenry,” according to him.

Awards were presented to some stakeholders such as
Dangote Cement, which emerged the best importer
and Bollore Africa Logistics Ghana Ltd, which won
the best taxpayer award.

Some staff of the Customs Division in Tema were
also awarded for their hard work and dedication
last year.
