President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Mr. Aaron Kanor as Acting Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), with immediate effect.
The appointment was announced in a statement issued by the GRA on February 23, 2026.
Mr. Kanor is a seasoned Customs officer with over three decades of experience in revenue mobilisation, border security, and trade facilitation. Until his appointment, he served as Officer in Charge of Port Operations, where he supervised enforcement, revenue collection, and trade processes.
He has previously held key roles, including Sector Commander at Kotoka International Airport and Wa Collections, and Chief Revenue Officer in several operational areas. He is credited with leading intelligence-led operations that curtailed smuggling and improved revenue performance.
Mr. Kanor also played a role in advancing modernization initiatives within the Customs Division, including electronic valuation systems and reforms that reduced cargo clearance times.
The GRA said his appointment is expected to strengthen Customs administration and improve compliance. The Authority also expressed appreciation to the outgoing Commissioner, Brigadier General Glover Ashong Annan, for his service.
