The Bureau of Internal Affairs (BIA), an anti-graft organisation, has asked the Executive to investigate allegations of protocol recruitment of staff at the Ghana Revenue Authority.

A statement issued by Mr Godfred Nkrumah, Co-ordinating Director of BIA, claimed on Wednesday that the alleged protocol employment is causing tension among the workers.

It said the procedure of employment in the public sector is that advertisements are placed in the media inviting applications for any position before protocol consideration becomes an option.

The statement said at the time when there is a freeze on employment in the public sector, allegations that the protocol employment is coming from the Presidency is quite disturbing,

“BIA is therefore calling on the authorities to investigate the issue before it degenerates into a full-blown scandal.”
