Okudzeto Ablakwa Vindicated As GRA Confirms “Adu Gyamfi” And “Victor Kusi-Boateng” Are Different People

• Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa's relentless campaign to expose what he said was Reverend Kusi-Boteng's double identity has received backing from the GRA
• The GRA has responded to the North Tongu lawmaker's request to look into the details of two TIN numbers linked to the same man
• GRA has explained that the two names linked to Kusi-Boateng - Kwabena Adu Gyamfi and Victor Kusi Boateng - have different dates of birth and different mothers

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has released documents appearing to back claims by outspoken opposition lawmaker, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, that Reverend Victor Kusi-Boateng, the secretary to the board of trustees of the National Cathedral project, has two separate identities.

The North Tongu lawmaker had petitioned the state tax collection authority to look into what he believed to be a deliberate attempt by Kusi-Boateng to under-declare his taxes.

In the petition dated January 25, 2023, Ablakwa provided evidence of two Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) under two different names he said belonged to the same person.

And in a response dated February 7, 2023, the GRA confirmed that the two TINs belonged to two different people because the particulars presented to obtain them showed they had different names listed as mothers.

This is what the GRA said:

"i. P0002502682 is registered for Victor Kusi Boateng

Date of birth: 07/09/1971

Mother's maiden name: Agnes Attah

Date of Application: 13th August 2013

Identification information: Driver's licence

"ii. P00062741X is registered for Kwabena Adu Gyamfi

Date of birth: 30/12/69

Mother's maiden name: Yaa Gyamfua

Date of Application: 16th March 2016

Ablakwa had insisted that the Kusi-Boateng was hiding under multiple identities, although people close to the reverend minister said they knew him as both "Kusi-Boateng" and "Adu Gyamfi". Others said "Adu Gyamfi" was his house name.

But the GRA's confirmation that the two names have different mothers and dates of birth is certain to be met with more questions from Ghanaians.

Ablakwa accused of running 2 unregistered companies

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh has reported in a separate story that Ablakwa has been accused of running two companies not registered to pay taxes.

According to The Movement for Justice-Ghana, the lawmaker owns Saavi Solutions and Volta Klenam Farms, which are not registered with the GRA.

The allegations were contained in a letter submitted to the commissioner-general of the GRA, which was received on February 15, 2023.

The allegations have been described as an attempt to derail the exposés of Ablakwa against Kusi-Boateng.
