The Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, Colonel Kwadwo Damoah, who has recently comes into public scrutiny after the Special Prosecutor fingered him in Labianca saga, is in hot waters again as leaked documents allegedly reveals his help in tax evasion.
In the document, Colonel Damoah was cited as helping people invade tax at the Aflao border. The special monitoring team of the National Intelligence Bureau, on 08/10/2021, intercepted and arrested two (2) cargo trucks at DZORWULU traffic Light, near Fiesta Royale Hotel in Accra, on suspicion of under-declaration and misdescription of goods.
Excerpts from a letter by National Security dated 21st October 2021 reads;
” It was revealed after the re-examination, that a substantial number of goods in the trucks were undeclared and thus, no duties were paid on same. Kindly find attached the list of declared and undeclared goods in the trucks.
“It needs stating that, during the interception, the traders were discourteous towards the arresting officers, with one of them allegedly placing a call to Col. DAMOAH, Commissioner of CD-GRA. Subsequently, AGBAWU received a call from one Kojo BONSU, Staff Officer to the Commissioner, instructing him to release the trucks unconditionally.”
Reactions From Some Ghanaians
Pharmacist and CDD-Ghana Fellow, Kwame Sarpong Asiedu reacted to the leaked documents this way;
“I hope this letter is photoshopped. If not, I can’t help but ask, why is Col. Damoah still at post? Is it not implied in this letter that the State had enough on him long before the OSP started their investigation? If so why did the State not act? Does the Col. hold something on some powerful people? Think through these things. Any wonder Martin Kpebu kerps saying there is a lot?”.
Others opined that why is Colonel Kwadwo Damoah still at post as at now?
“We are interested in knowing the outcome of the investigations since it’s been about 10 months since the letter was written.” Another user wrote.
