A Ghanaian citizen, Emmanuella Sarfowaah, has filed a lawsuit against President John Mahama, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), and the Attorney General over the appointment of Anthony Kwasi Sarpong as the Acting Commissioner-General of GRA.
The plaintiff argues that the appointment, made through a letter dated 21st January 2025, was unconstitutional as it did not follow due process.
According to the lawsuit, President Mahama appointed Sarpong without the constitutionally required advice of the GRA's governing board and the Public Services Commission.
The plaintiff contends that this appointment was premature since, as of 21st January 2025, GRA had no functioning Governing Council to provide such advice.
