Following the temporary sealing of the Headquarter Offices of the Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA) by the National Revenue Authority (NRA), both entities have met today to discuss a sustainable way forward.
The EDSA team led by the Deputy Minister of Energy 1, Edmond Nonie including James Rogers, Deputy Director General, Matthias Abu-Mattia, Acting Chief Finance Officer and Dr. Emmanuel Mannah, DG SL Electricity & Water Regulatory Commission - met with the Commissioner General, NRA - Jeneba J. Bangura and her team including the DCG2, Gerald H. Ganda. They expressed NRA's commitment to compliance and transparency.
The key outcome of the meeting was the understanding that allows the resumption of EDSA operations while ensuring that its financial obligations are met over a structured timeline.
The CG welcomed this understanding, reiterating that the NRA's enforcement actions are aimed at promoting revenue enhancement and accountability rather than implementing punitive measures. With this understanding in place, both institutions can now focus on their essential public services without further disruption.
The dialogue highlights the importance of cooperation in addressing compliance within public institutions, paving the way for enhanced revenue collection, and trust between NRA and tax paying government entities.
