The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has launched an investigation into allegations of extortion involving some officers of the Customs Division Task Force in the Ashanti Region.
The allegations, raised by the Traders Advocacy Group Ghana (TAGG), suggest that officers demanded additional payments from importers after intercepting containers bound for Kumasi, claiming undervaluation. Importers, however, insist the payments were unjustified.
In a statement, the GRA said it takes the matter seriously and has initiated a thorough internal investigation.
The Authority assured the public that the findings will be made known once the process is complete and encouraged stakeholders to report any suspected malpractice through the appropriate channels.
GRA reaffirmed its commitment to integrity, transparency, and fairness in all its operations.
