GRA boss must be sacked - Financial Analyst
A financial analyst, Kudzo Akpabey wants the
Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue
Authority removed from office.

He said George Blankson is inefficient in steering
the affairs of the GRA to mobilize more taxes.
President Mahama made some changes to the
leadership of the Customs division of the GRA on
Wednesday, April 23, 2014.

President Mahama appointed the Assistant
Commissioner of the Customs Excise and Preventive
Service (CEPS) Mr. Wallace Kofi Akondor, as Acting
Commissioner effective May 5, 2014. He replaced
Mr. Isaac Ofoe Apronti who has been commissioner
for some time now.

A letter signed by the Chief of Staff, Prosper
Bani, copied to the Finance Minister, Seth Terkper
also named Frederick Gavor, as Acting Deputy
Commissioner in charge of Operations of CEPS. Mr.
John Vianney Kuudamnuru will now be Head of
Imports and Exports at the headquarters of the
service. Osman Awudu heads to Tema from Kumasi as
Sector Head.


Mr. Awudu will be replaced by Mr. Kofi Toffah, as
new Sector Head in Kumasi. Mr. Melvin Mc-Bruce is
now new Head for Takoradi Sector in the Western
Region.

But Mr. Akpabey is disappointed that the
Commissioner General was left at post. He told
Strictproof on Wednesday that he expects more
changes and Mr. Blankson should be the next to go.
