President Nana Akufo-Addo has acknowledged the resignation of Dr. Anthony Oteng-Gyasi from his position as Board Chair of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), resulting in the dissolution of the entire board.
In response to this development, President Akufo-Addo appointed Ms. Julie Essiam as the new Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority, succeeding Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah.
Ms. Essiam previously served as the Commissioner responsible for the Support Services Division of the GRA.

Dr. Oteng-Gyasi assumed the role of Board Chair of the GRA in August 2021, succeeding Professor Stephen Adei.
The dissolved board comprised members such as Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, Adelaide Ahwireng, Prof. Peter Ohene Kyei, Kwabena Boateng, Dela Obeng-Sakyi, 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, took over the role of Board Chair following Professor Stephen Adei's tenure from 2019 to 2021.
