8 billion cedis Tax Evasion Saga

The over 8 billion cedis tax evasion saga involving ex-President J.J. Rawlings\' bossom buddy, Marwan Traboulsi and his company, Air Ghana would soon be made public according to a story carried by \'The Crusading Guide\'.

Mr Akuffo, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), made this promise to the paper on Friday.

He said the IRS in the new era would do everything possible, without fear or favour to get to the bottom of the matter.

Mr Akuffo\'s promise was made in the face of doubts of the paper as to the preparedness of IRS to cooperate and furnish it with the findings of their (IRS\'s) investigations into the AIR GHANA over 8 billion cedis evasion saga.

The Crusading Guide about three years ago first broke the news on Air Ghana\'s tax evasion. It found to its utter amazement that the IRS had very little information on the Air Ghana operations and therefore furnished firm with relevant and documentary evidence that could help in the investigation of Air Ghana.

Unfortunately, for three years now the IRS has failed to tell what it had gotten out of its findings. Last August, \'The Crusading Guide\' in seeking answers from the just (unofficially) \"dismissed\" IRS Commissioner, Mr David Adom on the tax evasion matter met with a wall.
