  Look at the confused face of the so called minister. Ghanaians expect something from this man? No. Nothing can come out of this man to develop Ghana. The probe will produce no results. NDC must pack and go.

  This is unfair, why GRA ? What type of Human Resource Management is this ?
  Hope something good comes out from this audit, to revive the present low spirit affected employees are exhibiting at work.

  The reasons;(1)All the members of staff who became eligible for promotions in 2008,2009,2010 were lumped together in one process, regardless of their seniority. (2) The questions were leaked by management to their cronies and girl friends. I'm reliably informed that the board chairman insisted on including the 2010 group just because he has a girl friend in there. (3) There was a fatal flaw in the organization. In that the same questions were asked throughout a particular day. I mean, morning,afternoon,and evening. This put the participants in the morning session at a great disadvantage as by afternoon time in a particular day, the questions were all over the place. If you are a board chairman, a commissioner and you preside over such a joke in a serious organization is that good?

  Blank son gives preference to former VAT staff most of whom know next to nothing apart from taking bribe.those corrupt ones who are investigated, and found culpable, are only TRANSFERED rather than dismissed.

  From beginning to the end, the promotion exercise was fraught with INCOMPETENCE,RISKS & CORRUPTION, Particularly, matters relating to staff from PRO to CRO. Those they promoted were those who either saw the questions before the interview (due to the inefficient and/or corrupt Management) or helped out by a particular interview panel. There was nothing like meritorious service. No fairness. No INTEGRITY. GRA would suffer.

  Any good management will not lump all the groups together as they should have known that that will almost certainly result in passing over the seniors for promotion. That is certainly bad management and head must roll.

  ARE THESE PROMOTED REVENUE OFFICIALS DO HAVE THE NECESSARY MIDDLE LEVEL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS SAT AND PASSED BEFORE THEY WERE EMPLOYED AT THE REVENUE DEPARTMENT.
  
  WE CANNOT OVERCOME THE DIFFICULTIES FACING THE PUBLIC SECTOR UNLESS IT IS TOITALLY OVERHAULED.
  
  THE GHANA CIVIL SERVICE IS STILL OCCUPIED WITH OFFICERS WITHOUT PROFESIONAL SKILLS OF THREE YEARS.
  
  ARE CLERICAL ASSISTANTS, CLERICAL,EXECUTIVE, HIGHER, SENIOR AND PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS PROFESSIONAL TITLES.
  
  WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE WE WILL BE IN THE POSITION TO GET RID OF THE MANY SERIOUS MESS FACING THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
