  "summary": "Ghana's Acting Deputy Commissioner of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Dr Dominic Naab, has urged citizens to fulfill their tax obligations, highlighting that tax revenue is essential for financing the country's development agenda. Speaking on the GRA Connect Radio Show, Dr Naab emphasized that government heavily depends on taxes to fund major infrastructure projects and deliver essential public services, including its flagship Big Push programme. He stressed that unlike private businesses, the government relies primarily on tax revenue to finance development projects and maintain the economy. Dr Naab urged Ghanaians to view taxation not as a burden but as a shared responsibility towards national development, emphasizing that improved tax compliance would strengthen government revenue and enhance its ability to deliver infrastructure and other essential services across the country.",
