General News of Sunday, 21 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comA private Ghanaian citizen and lawyer has initiated legal action against four individuals, including two Members of Parliament, over their appointment to the board of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). He argues that they cannot be appointed as board members because they are not private individuals, as required under the Ghana Revenue Authority Act, 2009 (Act 791). According to him, the appointment of the two MPs to represent the private sector contravenes the GRA Act, specifically Section 4(1) of Act 791. He stated that both Laadi Ayamba and Francis Xavier Sosu, being elected Members of Parliament, cannot be appointed under Section 4(1)(f) as representatives of the private sector. “… The Plaintiff avers that appointing the elected Members of Parliament as members of the governing Board of the Ghana Revenue Authority impairs the oversight function of the 2nd and 3rd Defendants as Members of Parliament.
