The Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, has hinted that Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Rev Amishaddai Owusu-Amoah will face legal consequences for his continued stay in office without a contract extension from the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n
Rev Amishaddai Owusu-Amoah, who is more than 60 years old and is therefore required by law to have a contract authorising him to continue as GRA boss, has been at post for about two years with any such authorisation from the appointing authority.<\/p>\n
For Mr Dafeamekpor, Rev Owusu-Amoah is not supposed to be at post because he has no document backing his being at post, adding that Rev Owusu-Amoah will face legal action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe collusion and the cronyism and politics is what is eating our system away. For this matter if it is not politics, which country will this happen? And he too, it doesn\u2019t bother him to prompt that you must regularize my stay?\u2026 People [like Rev Owusu-Amoah] don\u2019t care any longer but a day is coming that they will care,\u201d Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor said in an interview with Okay FM.<\/p>\n
Mr Dafeamekpor explained that the fact that without a contract, Rev Owusu-Amoah is still working and drawing salary is a violation that has been cited countless times by the Auditor General.<\/p>\n
At a sitting of the Public Accounts Committee recently, Rev Owusu-Amoah confirmed that he was beyond 60 years old and had been asked by the Finance Minister to stay on with a written contract.<\/p>\n
In the view of Mr Dafeamekpor, the government (Finance Ministry and the Presidency) should have taken immediate steps after the Public Accounts Committee hearing to regularize Rev Owusu-Amoah\u2019s stay at the GRA. But that has\u00a0not\u00a0been\u00a0done.<\/p>\n
