GRA refutes claims of vehicle auctioning, warns against fraudulent notices

-

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has categorically denied recent reports alleging its involvement in the auctioning of vehicles.

In a statement issued on December 11, the GRA described the claims as “false” and reaffirmed its strict adherence to established procedures for auctioning vehicles and goods through its Customs Division.

The authority cautioned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and advised individuals not to make payments to unauthorized persons or groups linked to these false reports.

Reiterating its commitment to transparency, the GRA urged the public to rely solely on official communications for accurate and reliable information about its operations.

“The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has sighted a fake media release on a vehicle auction dated December 3, 2024, purportedly issued by the Commissioner-General of the GRA,” the statement clarified.

The GRA pointed out discrepancies in the fraudulent notice, stating, “The fake media release bears the signature of the former Commissioner-General, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, but lists the name of the current Commissioner-General, Madam Julie Essiam.”

The GRA stated, “We wish to inform the general public that the notice circulating in the public domain is FAKE.”
