The alleged dual identity of Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, the head pastor of Power Chapel Worldwide, has been the subject of two Right to Information (RTI) requests from the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Registrar General’s Department, according to Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the member of parliament for North Tongu.
What steps the organization is taking to address the circumstances that led to the application for and issuance of two different Tax Identification Numbers is one of the requests being made to the GRA.
He is also seeking to know from the Registrar General what actions are being pursued over the registered companies of the Reverend Minister with two TINs over a period of 12 years.
It will be recalled that the legislator in a series of posts on social media alleged that Rev. Kusi Boateng who is also the Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral had registered companies and had multiple passports which had the name Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.
He also explained how two TINs might be created at various times, perhaps with two distinct dates of birth.
According to Mr. Ablakwa, he began looking into Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng’s dual identity when he noticed that he was one of the project’s contractors and that his registration name was Kwabena Adu Gyamfi in the incorporation records.
Victor Kusi Boateng, the designated Secretary of the National Cathedral Board of Trustees, is the owner of JNS Talent, which was paid GH 2.6 million, according to Mr. Ablakwa.
The North Tongu legislator further said that the Secretary’s expired driver’s license also bears the name Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng which was used to incorporate him into the Secretariat Board of Trustees.
The legislator requested an investigation of Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng from the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).
Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, in reaction to the accusations, threatened to sue the MP and said that Mr. Ablakwa’s assertions are a “twisted interpretation of events.”
