A private citizen, Emmanuella Sarfowaah, has dragged the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, through the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, to court over his appointment of Anthony Kwasi Sarpong as the Acting Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The suit, from court documents, shows that Sarfowaah's case is in challenging the legality of Mahama's appointment of Kwasi Sarpong.
According to the writ of summons from the High Court, it lists President John Dramani Mahama, through the Attorney General (3rd Defendant), Anthony Kwasi Sarpong (1st Defendant), and the GRA (2nd Defendant) as defendants in the case.
The plaintiff, through her writ, is raising concerns about an alleged conflict of interest in the president's appointment of Kwasi Sarpong as Acting Ghana Revenue Authority Commissioner-General. Sarfowaah argues that Kwasi Sarpong still holds an interest in KPMG, where he is listed as a senior partner, and that his appointment as GRA boss raises serious concerns.
