Anti-corruption champion and lawmaker Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has been accused by a group of secretly managing two firms and evading taxes to the tune of GH¢96,076.

The letter dated February 14, 2023, read in part as follows:

"I would also like to bring to your attention that Mr. Ablakwa has a tax liability Of GH¢96,076.16 that the Ghana Revenue Authority has failed or neglected to collect. I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to request Mr. Ablakwa to pay his tax lability immediately."

The letter signed by one Kwaku Takyi Adomako, Convener, and Paakwasi Nimfah-Daviies, a member of the group, claims the NDC MP for North Tongu once managed Savvi Solutions and currently owns Volta Klenam Farms and Industries Ltd but both companies are not registered with the tax authority to pay taxes.

"It is of utmost importance that the tax compliance of Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, as a Member of Parliament for North Tongu, be observed and upheld, as it serves as a model for the general public," the group said in their petition to the GRA Commissioner-General.
