Ronor Motors to take CHRAJ to court over corruption report

Ghanaian automobile company Ronor Motors Ghana Ltd says it will challenge a report by the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), which accused it of benefiting from an inflated contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

The company announced its decision on Thursday, 6 November 2025, following CHRAJ’s claim that it, alongside two other firms, was overpaid US$826,551 in a vehicle supply deal.

CHRAJ’s findings arose from a petition filed by the Movement for Truth and Accountability (MFTA), alleging corruption, fraud and procurement breaches in contracts awarded by the GRA to Ronor Motors, Sajel Motors, and Telinno Ghana Ltd.

The complaint also cited former GRA Commissioner-General Reverend Dr Ammishaddai Owusu Amoah as the primary respondent in what CHRAJ described as a “fraudulent and irregular” contracting process.

In its final report, CHRAJ concluded that the three companies had received inflated payments and cited what it called “serious procedural lapses” in the approval and pricing stages.

Ronor Motors has dismissed CHRAJ’s conclusion as “misguided, inaccurate, and reputationally harmful”, insisting it complied fully with procurement laws.

In a statement signed by its lawyer, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, the company argued that CHRAJ’s comparison between its quoted prices and those of Toyota Ghana Ltd was “simplistic and misleading.”

The company stressed that its prices had been reviewed and approved by the Public Procurement Authority (PPA)—the state agency legally mandated to validate public procurement contracts.

Ronor Motors described itself as a law-abiding and trusted Ghanaian business, noting that it had supplied vehicles to government institutions and Members of Parliament “without blemish” for years.

The company said it views CHRAJ’s report as a direct attack on its credibility, and vowed to pursue all legal avenues to protect its name.
