Sam George reveals the huge salary of GRA Boss; describes him as a living ghost
He questioned why Dr. Owusu-Amoah has remained in his position after reaching retirement age, raising further doubts about the circumstances surrounding his continued tenure.
The Member of Parliament(MP) for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, has brought attention to the salary of Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
He revealed that Dr Owusu-Amoah is the second highest-paid public servant.
During an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Mr George alleged that Dr. Owusu-Amoah receives a salary exceeding GH140,000.
Mr. George referred to the GRA boss as a “living ghost” on the payroll, pointing out that since October 2020, Dr. Owusu-Amoah has not held any contract with the government after reaching retirement age, raising concerns about possible irregularities.
He remarked, “Dr. Ammishaddai is a ghost on the public payroll because he doesn’t have any contract. Can you believe he is the second highest-paid public servant? He is paid every month without a contract. He is simply a living ghost on the payroll.”
At a recent Public Accounts Committee (PAC) sitting, Sam George inquired about the age of the GRA Commissioner-General and accused him of engaging in ‘dubious and unscrupulous’ contracts.
