Indexing government scandals one at a time
Ms. Adelaide Ahwireng, acting board chairperson of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has rented two buildings belonging to her as offices for the revenue collecting agency at cut-throat annual charge of GH¢1.4million.
A three-story duplex and a two-storey sandcrete block property located in the Agbogbloshie South Industrial Area are the buildings in question.
With regards to the three-story duplex whose tenancy agreement was signed on 4th January 2018, the acting board chairperson is charging Ghana Revenue Authority GH¢49,035.16 as monthly rent [which translates into an annual charge of GH¢588,421.92] and an interesting annual GH¢117,765.24 for “Common Area Maintenace.”
The agreement for the two-storey office was signed 1st June 2019 and GRA is paying ridiculous GH¢50,400.00 monthly [which translates into GH¢604,800.00 annually] and a further GH¢120,000.00 as “Common Area Maintenance.”
