Victor Kusi Boateng and Kwabena Adu Gyamfi have been confirmed by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to be separate people based on the records of their Tax Identification Numbers (TIN).
In a letter dated February 3, 2023 and addressed to Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, the GRA described how the two individuals came into possession of the various TINS.
“The registration system was not biometric and did not have any facial recognition features for the detection of duplicate faces” at the time of registration for Kusi Boateng (August 13, 2013) and Adu Gyamfi (March 15, 2016), according to the letter.
It continued by saying that it had began looking into Ablakwa’s assertion that the two people were really just one person who was using a double identity for illegal purposes.
Ablakwa included the GRA letter in his court documents to fight a contempt complaint that Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, also known as Victor Kusi Boateng, the secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral of Ghana, had filed against him.
The paper was an 85-page affidavit submitted by Ablakwa’s attorneys to support their arguments that the plaintiff was engaging in a vexatious activity by filing the contempt lawsuit.
The motion for contempt, which was filed by Rev Kusi Boateng, indicated that the reasons Ablakwa gave for rejecting the document were not tangible.
According to the court documents sighted, the MP said that he could not be served the document because he was on his way to Parliament but the House was on recess as at the time the order was being served.
It added that the MP also disrespected the court when he shared copies of the court order on social media.
