The Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Mr Emmanuel Kofi Nti and two other commissioners have been fired, Daily Mail GH can confirm.

The other affected commissioners are Isaac Crentsil, commissioner for customs, and Kwasi Asante Gyimah, in charge of domestic tax.

Top government officials say Nti has been informed officially about the decision and has about a month to leave office.
“We keep missing our revenue target and that is not good for a government. There are so many leakages in the system and he’s not been proactive to block them,” a reliable source at the Finance Ministry told Daily Mail GH.

Nti, a Tax Policy Advisor, assumed office in February 2017.
