The Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) has cautioned the public against individuals falsely claiming to collect money on its behalf, stressing that it has not authorised the National Security Secretariat, its operatives, or any other persons to demand or receive funds in its name.
In a statement signed by the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Frederick Appoh, the Authority said it has not granted any mandate, approval, or authorisation to any individual or group to collect money on its behalf, particularly within the Kantamanto Market or any other location.
GRDA explained that anyone purporting to act in its name or claiming the backing of National Security to collect monies is doing so without lawful authority and without the knowledge or consent of the Authority.
The Authority has therefore urged members of the public to treat such claims as fraudulent and to remain vigilant.
“The Authority strongly requests that any such incidents, demands, or utterances be immediately reported to the Ghana Police Service for investigation and possible arrest, in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ghana,” the statement said.
GRDA reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, lawful engagement, and due process in all its operations, adding that it will fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies to curb any illegal activities carried out in its name.
The Authority further assured the public that it remains focused on conducting its operations strictly within established legal and regulatory frameworks.
