BREAKING NEWS.
*GRA Commissioner of Customs removed from office in the wake of Labianca saga*

The Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Colonel (Rtd.) Kwadwo Damoah, has been directed by the President to hand over his duties to an acting Deputy Commissioner at the Authority, Seidu Iddrisu Iddisah.

Col. Damoah had been serving in his position despite his contract expiring in October 2021, according to a letter from the presidency sighted by Citi News.

Mr. Iddisah will continue to act as the Commissioner of the Customs Division pending a substantive appointment by the President.

Col. Damoah was recently implicated in corruption-related acts involving Labianca Company Limited, a frozen foods company.

After the Special Prosecutor released a report on the infractions, Col. Damoah publicly questioned the substance of the investigation.

A Council of State member, Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh, who owns Labianca Company and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority was accused of using her position to get a favourable decision from the Customs Division of the GRA, leading to a reduction in her company’s tax liabilities.

The Special Prosecutor has since recovered GHS 1 million from Labianca.

The money was recovered as a shortfall of revenue arising from the issuance of the unlawful customs advance, meant to be duties paid to the state following the importation of the frozen foods.

A Deputy Commissioner of Customs in charge of Operations, Joseph Adu Kyei, was cited for issuing what unlawful customs advance ruling in the Special Prosecutor’s report.

This led to the reduction of the values of intended imports between a range of 5 percent and 10 percent
below the benchmark values.

The ruling was said to have been approved by Col. Damoah.

It did not appear to have been brought to the notice of the Commissioner-General, according to the Special Prosecutor report.

"The game will take place on Friday, September 23, 2022, at a yet-to-be-named venue in Europe.

"The game will give coach Otto Addo the platform to continue the assessment of his players in the build-up to the Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 finals in Doha.

"The international friendly match against the Brazil national team will give Ghana a boost going into the Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament."

Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, Cameroon, and Tunisia received a major boost when the Caf executive committee approved a revision of the calendar concerning Afcon qualifiers for the next edition.

This decision was arrived at in order to make room for the African nations that have qualified for the World Cup in November/December 2022 to prepare adequately.

Consequently, the September matchday three and matchday four qualifiers were moved to March 20-28, 2023.

Matchday five will now be on June 12-20, 2023 while matchday six will be played on September 4-12, 2023.

The Black Stars will play Portugal on November 24, South Korea on November 28, and Uruguay on December 2 in Qatar, while Brazil face Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon for their group matches.
