The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has launched an internal investigation into allegations of extortion involving some officers of the Customs Division Task Force in the Ashanti Region.
This follows claims by the Traders Advocacy Group Ghana (TAGG) that certain Customs officers intercepted containers headed for Kumasi and demanded additional payments after alleging undervaluation.
According to TAGG, the importer involved insisted that the demands were unjustified.
In a statement dated Thursday, November 27, 2025, the Authority said it has taken note of the concerns and is treating the allegations with utmost seriousness.
The probe, according to the GRA, will be thorough, with the findings to be communicated to the public once concluded.
The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to integrity, transparency and fairness in all its operations, stressing that misconduct of any form will not be tolerated.
It further encouraged traders, importers and the general public to support ongoing efforts by reporting suspicious activities through its official complaint channels.
The GRA added that safeguarding public trust remains central to its mandate and assured the public of full accountability as investigations progress.
