GRA worried over increased smuggling through western corridor
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has identified the South -Western and North-Western borders of the country as areas where smuggling of goods across water bodies are common.
This sad development has come as a blow to the GRA’s core mandate of protecting revenue by preventing smuggling. The GRA personnel physically patrol the borders and other strategic points; examine goods as well as related documents, but lack of required equipment to execute this mandate has resulted in the increased smuggling in the aforementioned areas. This development has resulted in the nation losing millions of Ghana cedis through the illegal trade.
