The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has dissociated itself from the recent comment by the Commissioner of Customs Division, Colonel (rtd) Kwadwo Damoah, on the Office of Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) corruption report on Labianca Group of Companies Limited. Colonel Kwadwo Damoah, (retired), addressing senior customs officers in Kumasi last week, had said a report by the Special Prosecutor that stated that a member of the Council of State had used her position to get a favourable decision from the Customs Division of GRA, which led to a reduction in the tax liabilities of Labianca Limited was “hollow”.
Col Damoah had said the Special Prosecutor, whom, he described as a “small boy” was attempting to discredit him [Damoah] and indict himself and the Deputy Commissioner of Operations of the GRA in an investigative report released last week.
Colonel Damoah also asserted that the Special Prosecutor’s investigation was “hollow and actuated by malice“.
“Anybody who has read that report very well, would know that basis of that and luckily for me, God is always on my side. Before that report came, that person had made statement to some people who had come (to tell me that), he was going to publish something that will discredit me and he will do that and I even sent people to go and tell him that he’s a small boy and I am older than him. I have lived a meaningful life and if he attempts to destroy me, it won’t be easy for him”.
