Chairman of the Parliament Select Committee on Finance Kwaku Kwarteng is backing the calls for the Ghana Revenue Authority to severely sanction its staff involved in the JoyNews expose “Fake Clearance”.
Reacting to a JoyNews expose that shed light on how some staff of the GRA aid businesses bidding for contracts, to circumvent laid down procedures, in the acquisition of tax clearance certificates, she stated that incidents in the past have shown public sector workers who were caught engaging in malpractices go scot-free.
Hon.Kwaku Kwarteng described the current situation in the country as sad and worrying particularly when such actions are coming from the very institution supposed to be mobilizing revenue for the government.
He joined the calls for the employees indicted in such a controversy to be sanctioned.
“I believe that the right punitive measure to serve as a deterrent to others will be to get rid of that employee so that the rest of employees will see and understand that they won’t get away with it if they practice that,” he communicated.
