Kpetoe (V/R), Oct.
18, GNA – The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is to strictly enforce its code of
conduct with focus on declaration of assets by all staff.
Mr Ammishaddai
Owusu-Amoah, Acting Commissioner-General of the Authority, who gave the hint,
said staff would also be measured by customer satisfaction survey beginning
next year.
Mr Owusu-Amoah was
speaking at the passing out parade of senior and junior customs cadet at the
GRA Academy at Kpetoe, in the Agotime-Ziope District of the Volta Region.
He charged the 222
graduands, made up of 51 junior and 171 senior cadets to acquaint themselves
with the GRA code of conduct and treat traders, importers, and taxpayers with
the “required fairness.”
“The better you
handle their concerns and the more civility you display towards them, the more
confidence they build in the GRA.
“Let me also
remind you that management will continue to monitor your performance at your
collections and stations; rewarding excellent performance and sanctioning
abhorrent behaviour,” Mr Owusu-Amoah said.
He urged them to be
creative, innovative and good ambassadors of the Authority.
Dr. Archibald Yao
Letsa, Volta Regional Minister, charged the graduands to work hard and help
move Ghana beyond aid.
Mr Carlos Kingsley
Ahenkorah, Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry asked them to be smart and
employ new methodologies to collect all revenue due the nation.
Daniel Aboagye and
Emmanuel Tetteh emerged overall best graduands for the senior and junior cadets
respectively.
