GRA forms 9-member committee to probe alleged missing containers at Tema Port

The Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has constituted a nine-member investigative committee to probe allegations surrounding the unauthorised removal, transfer and disappearance of 28 containers at the Tema Port.

Nine-member committee Mr Sarpong said management considered the allegations serious because of their potential implications for revenue assurance, port security and the reputation of the GRA.

According to the petition, the containers were at various stages of the customs clearance process but were subsequently found to be empty, missing, transferred to private warehouses, or removed from the port without the owners' knowledge.
