Col Kwadwo Damoah: Customs Division commissioner asked to go home after receiving letter from the President
President Akufo-Addo has ordered Col Kwadwo Damoah (Rtd), the Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to go home.
He said the expiration of his contract of service is on 13th October, 2022.
However, Col. Damoah has been asked to hand over to acting Deputy, Mr. Seidu Iddrisu Iddisah effective Friday 26th August, 2022.
In a letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante, it noted that Mr. Seidu Iddrisu Iddisah will now be acting as Commissioner of the Customs Division.
This comes after Col Kwadwo Damoah (Rtd) descended on Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng following a recent corruption report.
He said the Special Prosecutor is scheming to destroy his image in an audio intercepted by ModernGhana News.
The report, which was released by the Office of the Special Prosecutor exposes some corrupt deals involving a Council of State Member Ms. Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh, the owner of Labianca Company Limited and some officials of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority at the Tema port.
The OSP investigated alleged corruption and corruption-related offences in the context of evasion and valuation of duties on frozen and processed food products imported into Ghana between 2017-2021.
The case, according to the OSP involved some high-ranking officials of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Interestingly, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) managed to recover over GHC1 million GHC1,074, 627.15 from Labianca Foods in unpaid import duties.
The OSP has also called for wider investigations into Customs Division of the GRA and demanded a copy of Integrity plans to prevent corruption.
It was based on these revelations, Col K. Damoah (Rtd), the Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) described the Special Prosecutor as a ‘small boy’ who cannot destroy him.
