The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has indicted former GRA boss Rev Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah for causing GHC 8.97 million loss to the state.
Rev Ammishaddai has been found culpable of procurement breaches in a vehicle supply contract.
CHRAJ further refered him and three companies to A-G for prosecution.
The CHRAJ report concluded that the former GRA boss presided over fraudulent and irregular contract awards to three companies.
The companies have been listed to us: Ronor Motors Ghana Limited, Telinno Ghana Limited, and Sajel Motors and Trading Company Limited.
CHRAJ’s investigation follows a petition received in 2022 filed by the Movement for Truth and Accountability (MFTA).
The report noted that the contracts were inflated, fraudulent, duplication, and, in some cases, nonexistent contractors.
According to CHRAJ, despite the last-minute attempt by the petitioners to withdraw the complaint, they proceeded with the investigation, which revealed a financial loss to the state amounting to USD 826,551 round about GHS 8,971,933.43).
CHRAJ also found that the companies involved were not tax compliant at the time, adding that two of the companies, Telinno Ghana Limited and Sajel Motors and Trading Company Limited, could not be traced.
Meanwhile, the former GRA boss has also been fingered in the controversial revenue assurance contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and SML (Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited).
SML, which was contracted to perform the dubious auditing and revenue assurance services, is not licensed to perform the services, according to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ghana. The company had no prior experience and lacked the capacity to perform the contracts, for which reason the PPA denied the approval on three separate occasions, but the GRA pushed through”.
In a detailed press briefing, Kissi Agyebeng revealed that the SML (Strategic Mobilization Ghana Limited), which aimed to provide revenue assurance services in the petroleum, mining, and liquid bulk distribution (LBD) sectors, lacked a legitimate operational requirement.
According to Kissi Agyabeng, both Ofori-Atta and SML management were criminally minded in their operations.
He emphasized that the OSPs’ investigation established that the SML contract was not grounded in any genuine operational need, adding that the payment made to SML was a misuse of public funds.
Kissi Agyabeng, addressing a press conference on Thursday, October 30, revealed that the Strategic Mobilization Ghana Limited (SML) lacked both the tools and technical competence to execute the audit and revenue assurance services that it was contracted to perform for the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
He highlighted that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) uncovered glaring statutory breaches, conflicts of interest, and unjustified payments.
Also, Kissi Agyebeng has announced that he will press charges against several individuals implicated in the controversial SML revenue assurance contracts.
The Special Prosecutor named, former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, former Commissioner-Generals of the GRA — Rev Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah and Emmanuel Kofi Nti, also GRA officials, Isaac Crentsil, and Kwadwo Damoa. A former member of the Finance Ministry, Ernest Akore, is expected to be charged before the end of November 2025.
