Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has shared documents detailing the contract extension of the immediate past Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Rev. Dr Amisshaddai Owusu Amoah.

Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah formally concluded his tenure at the GRA on Sunday, March 31.

It has, however, emerged that President Akufo-Addo last month issued two appointment letters to cover 27 months spent in office by the former GRA boss following the expiration of his employment contract.

These contracts, dated Tuesday, March 26, 2024, were endorsed by the Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante.

The initial contract spans a two-year term, covering the period from October 11, 2021, to October 10, 2023.

Subsequently, a second contract was granted, extending from October 11, 2023, to March 31, 2024.
