President has appointed Aaron Kanor as Acting Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the authority has announced.
In a statement issued on Monday, the GRA said Mr Kanor’s appointment takes immediate effect.
He succeeds Brigadier General Glover Ashong Annan, who previously headed the Customs Division.
Mr Kanor has more than 30 years’ experience in customs administration, revenue mobilisation and border security, according to the statement. Until his appointment, he served as Officer in Charge of Port Operations, where he supervised revenue collection, enforcement of customs laws and trade facilitation measures.
The GRA said he had also held several senior roles, including Sector Commander at Kotoka International Airport and Wa Collections, as well as Chief Revenue Officer in multiple operational areas.
In those positions, he led intelligence-driven operations targeting smuggling, invoice falsification and vehicle identification fraud, the authority said, adding that the efforts contributed to improved revenue performance and border security.
The statement also credited Mr Kanor with supporting modernisation initiatives within the Customs Division, including the introduction of electronic valuation systems and reforms aimed at reducing cargo clearance times.
The GRA said his appointment is expected to strengthen customs administration, improve compliance and support economic growth through more efficient and secure trade systems.
The authority’s board, management and staff congratulated Mr Kanor on his appointment and thanked Brig Gen Annan for his service.
