The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has established a committee to investigate allegations of 28 containers going missing from Tema Port. This comes after importers petitioned GRA Commissioner-General Anthony Kwasi Sarpong on September 29, demanding clarification on the whereabouts of the containers. The containers, carrying various goods including cyanide, condensed milk and alcohol, were found in various stages of the customs clearance process.
Some were discovered empty, others allegedly moved to private warehouses and still others were taken out of the port without permission. The committee, headed by Customs Commissioner Aaron Kanor, will verify the claims and determine the current status of all the containers. They will also review electronic records in the Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS) and assess any potential revenue loss. The investigation is expected to be completed within 14 days.
