Investigations into Tema Port irregularities
Overview
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has launched an investigation into the alleged disappearance of 28 containers at Tema Port. Following petitions from importers, a nine-member committee led by Commissioner of Customs Aaron Kanor was established to probe claims that containers were found empty, missing, or moved to private warehouses without authorization during customs clearance.
The missing goods reportedly include pharmaceuticals, cyanide, textiles, alcohol, and various food products. The GRA noted the allegations pose risks to “revenue assurance, port security, and the authority’s reputation.” The matter has been referred to the Tema Regional Police Command, which has reportedly made arrests.
