President Nana Akufo-Addo has accepted the resignation of Dr Anthony Oteng-Gyasi from his role as Board Chair of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), leading to the dissolution of the entire board.

Following this development, President Akufo-Addo appointed Ms Julie Essiam as the new Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority, replacing Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah.

Ms Essiam previously served as the Commissioner responsible for the Support Services Division of the GRA.

Dr. Oteng-Gyasi was appointed as the Board Chair of the GRA in August 2021, succeeding Professor Stephen Adei.

The dissolved board included members such as Mr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, Ms Adelaide Ahwireng, Prof. Peter Ohene Kyei, Mr. Kwabena Boaten, Mrs. Dela Obeng-Sakyi, Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari, and Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei.

Dr. Oteng-Gyasi, a former President of the Association of Ghana Industries and Managing Director and Chairman of Tropical Cable and Conductor Ltd, assumed the role of Board Chair following Professor Stephen Adei's tenure from 2019 to 2021.
