The opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samual Okudzeto Ablakwa says he has no regrets over his comments made against the Ghana Revenue Authority, GRA boss hence he doesn\u2019t owe the Revenue Authority any apology, and they surely not going to get one.<\/p>\n
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, recently claimed that the GRA boss had left the shores of Ghana due to the auditing of the GRA\/SML Contract.<\/p>\n
But the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Rev. Dr. Ammyshaddai Owusu-Amoah, has vehemently denied these claims and insisted that he has been in the country fulfilling his duties as the GRA boss.<\/p>\n
The GRA boss in a statement said \u201cThere is no cause to run away, so nobody should even think that I\u2019ve run away. As you can see, I\u2019m here working to push taxes\u201d.<\/p>\n
However, Okudzeto Ablakwa in reaction claims the GRA response abysmally fails to discredit the findings of \u201cmy unimpeachable parliamentary oversight\u201d.<\/p>\n
In a post on his Facebook page to counter the statement from GRA, Okudzekto claimed, \u201cConsistent with the revelations I published, the GRA has only confirmed that Ghana is the only country in the world where the President orders a crucial audit into a ginormous scandal and the head of the organisation under audit is concurrently allowed to proceed on leave and assisted to travel out of the country during the said audit incredulous!\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to Okudzekto Ablakwa, \u201cUnder another incorruptible President, this GRA boss would have been fired for daring to leave the jurisdiction during such high-profile national audit into the create, loot and share scheme he collaborated with Ken Ofori-Atta to perpetuate\u201d.<\/p>\n
He noted the GRA release further states that Rev. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah is on a 6-day leave and will resume work on January 15, 2024, adding that \u201cThis does not add up. The GRA Commissioner-General left Ghana on January 3, 2024 \u2014 a few hours after the January 2, 2024 presidential directive of a KPMG audit. Leaving Ghana on the 3rd of January, 2024 and resuming work on the 15th of January, 2024 which instructively is the entire period of the promised 2-week audit cannot be described as a 6-day leave\u201d.<\/p>\n
The NDC MP further noted that \u201cThese bizarre developments and blatant official untruths are bound to happen when a corrupt government opts for deception and a grand cover-up instead of an honest, transparent and credible investigation into the million-dollar SML scandal\u201d.<\/p>\n
He lamented \u201cNothing will stop us from pursuing our constitutional mandate\u201d.<\/p>\n
