GRA intensifies tax mobilization mechanism to achieve revenue targets

The newly-appointed Commissioner of the Customs Division at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Brigadier General Zimbrim Bawah Ayarroga, has issued a stern warning that staff members involved in corrupt practices will face strict disciplinary action if caught.

He highlighted the GRA’s ongoing efforts to enhance its reputation and boost revenue collection, urging the media to support these efforts by exposing GRA officers found with credible evidence of misconduct for disciplinary action.

Brigadier General Ayarroga made these remarks during a media forum in Sunyani on Thursday, October 24, following a three-day working tour across the Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo regions.

During the tour, he engaged with staff, inspected facilities, and addressed operational challenges impacting the organization.

Emphasizing that tax revenue is crucial for national development, he encouraged staff to apply effective and transparent practices that assist traders and the business community in fulfilling their tax obligations.

Addressing concerns from the media, the Commissioner reaffirmed that capacity building, discipline, and professionalism remain integral to improving service delivery within the GRA.
