The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has asked the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority to immediately halt and discontinue “all auction sales” of vehicles and other goods.
The decision, he said, was taken to allow his office to commence an investigation into suspected corruption and corruption-related offences at the division.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor said it is probing the division with regards to the sale of vehicles and other goods between 1 July 2016 and 15 August 2022.
He has therefore directed the Commissioner of Customs Division, Col Kwadwo Damoah (Rtd) to produce the following documents to his office on or before by 30 September 2022:
“The particulars and clear description of all auctioned items, the quantity of all auctioned items, the prices at which the items were auctioned, the date of each auction sales, the full names, address, and telephone numbers of the successful bidders at all the auction sales,” the Special Prosecutor said in a statement, Monday, August 22, 2022.
