We will come after people like you.' There is pressure from the headquarters to find out your sources of income" these were the words of one of the men who called Atta Boadi." "...To the extent that they can even call you on their mobile phone numbers, it tells you "Look, this is our identity". Because they are acting on the powers that be, they don't care "if you like trace and find us". This is it. The degree of impunity tells you that perhaps, they are acting on the degree of some powers" Background Today's newspaper in their article published on September 12, 2022, with the title "GRA & ECOBANK IN MASSIVE GHS73.8 MILLION COVER-UP SCANDAL?" accused the two institutes of ripping Ghana of millions.

(There are other multi-national companies within the chain that we would expose in the coming days)," parts of their article read. "One classical case involves the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and ECOBANK Ghana Limited. The two are at the centre of what seemed an intriguing GHS73.8 Million scandal which some industry players who are privy to, have described not only as a clear breach of banking and finance ethos, but suspect a deliberate conspiracy and connivance of the two, to rip-off the Ghanaian tax payer."
