Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has officially sworn in a new nine-member board to oversee the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), with a call to strengthen domestic revenue mobilisation and maintain the highest standards of integrity.
The board will be chaired by Hon. George Ricketts Hagan, a former Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Cape Coast South. Commissioner of the GRA, Mr. Anthony Sarpong, is also among the members.
Other appointees to the board include Mr. Patrick Nomo, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Dr. Zakaria Mumuni, Madam Faustina Nelson, Mr. George Ayiretey, Hon. Laadi Ayamba, and Mr. Francis-Xavier Sosu.
Addressing the newly appointed board, Dr. Forson underscored the GRA’s vital role in supporting the country’s development through effective tax collection. “It’s time to look within and extensively raise domestic revenue to anchor government expenditure,” he said.
He further urged the board to commit to their duties with integrity and a strong sense of national purpose. “Lead with dedication and a strong sense of integrity,” he stressed.
Dr. Forson also called for more robust measures to tackle smuggling and revenue losses at Ghana’s borders, noting that the effectiveness of the GRA will significantly influence the government’s ability to deliver on its policy agenda.
