His appointment is anticipated to reinvigorate efforts to strengthen tax compliance, promote digitalisation initiatives, and enhance collaboration with stakeholders to bolster Ghana’s domestic revenue mobilisation strategies.

The management and staff of the GRA have extended their congratulations to Dr. Yamborigya, wishing him success in his new capacity as Acting Commissioner of the DTRD.
