An executive Member of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Elsie Appau-Klu, has strongly denied allegations of political power abuse and unlawful land encroachment.
In a document dated July 14, 2025, and addressed to GhanaWeb through her legal team, Kpatsa and Associates, Appau-Klu categorically stated that the allegations leveled against her, contained in a petition filed by private Ghanaian citizen, Nana Awuku Bram, are not only 'unequivocally false and groundless, but also damaging to her professional reputation.' "Your publication, which has been widely circulated through your platform (www.ghanaweb.com), contains serious allegations that are unequivocally false, groundless, and damaging to our client's integrity, professional reputation, and personal standing," portions of the statement read.
Addressing the allegations through her lawyers, she stated that the land encroachment issue is currently being contested in a competent court of jurisdiction, which has so far found no judicial determination of wrongdoing or encroachment on her part.
She claimed that the petitioner, Nana Awuku Bram, had been served with a court summons but failed to appear or present a defense in the matter. "The matter cited in your publication is currently under litigation and pending before a Court of competent jurisdiction which the said Nana Awuku Bram has been served with the Writ of Summons, but has to date not caused Appearance or Defence to be filed in that instant suit. "There has been no judicial finding of wrongdoing, encroachment, or abuse of office by Appau-Klu," her lawyers insisted.
