President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dr. Martin Kolbil Yamborigya as the Acting Commissioner of the Domestic Tax Revenue Division (DTRD) of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), effective Monday, November 17, 2025. Dr. Yamborigya succeeds Mr. Edward Apenteng Gyambrah, who recently retired from the position.
With over 20 years of experience in Ghana’s revenue administration, Dr. Yamborigya is expected to drive the government’s push for a more resilient, self-financing, and digitized economy. His key areas of focus will include:
leveraging technological reforms, such as the e-Tax Portal, digitization of the Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) process, and implementation of Fiscal Electronic Devices (FEDs) and the Citizen App, to formalize the economy and close revenue leakages Strengthening compliance, particularly within the vast informal sector, and ensuring the smooth transition of recently approved fiscal reforms, including major VAT reforms and the elimination of certain taxes.
Dr. Yamborigya’s appointment is seen as a boost to the GRA’s efforts to meet its 2025 targets, including generating a revenue increase equivalent to at least 0.6 percentage points of GDP annually, as committed under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program
