The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has disclosed that its investigations into dual identity claims against an Executive Council Member of the National Cathedral reveal that Victor Kusi Boateng and Kwabena Adu Gyamfi could be two different individuals.
In a letter to the MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the GRA noted that the said individuals have two distinct Tax Identification Number (TIN) records.
At the time of the registration for Kusi Boateng (August 13, 2013) and Adu Gyamfi (March 15, 2016), “the registration system was not biometric and did not have any facial recognition features for the detection of duplicate faces,” the letter said.
It went further to explain that it had started investigations into the claim by Ablakwa that the two individuals were one and the same person, who was using the double identity for criminal reasons.
Ablakwa shared the GRA letter as part of his court papers opposing a contempt suit brought against him by Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, alias Victor Kusi Boateng, who happens to be the secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral of Ghana.
The document was contained in an 85-page affidavit filed by Ablakwa’s lawyers to buttress his reasons that the plaintiff was engaged in a vexatious exercise with the contempt suit.

Ablakwa was cited for contempt of court for his handling of a restraining order document barring him from publishing personal information and other documents of Rev. Kusi Boateng.
The motion for contempt, which was filed by Rev Kusi Boateng, indicated that the reasons Ablakwa gave for rejecting the document were not tangible.
