Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The commissioner of customs at the Gambia Revenue Authority (GRA), Alhagie K. Mbye, has passionately challenged staff of GRA to buckle up and embrace the changes and challenges associated with revenue collection especially in these times of unstable and unpredictable global problems constantly upsetting the natural flow of things.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to him, to enable GRA customs officers, particularly those in the upcountry, to mobilise the much-needed revenue, they must intensify the strategy in their operation to enable them crackdown intruders and defaulters of noncompliance of the Revenue Act.<\/p>\n

Mr Mbye gave this advice while addressing GRA staff during a joint meeting between the GRA Board, Top management and staff held at Amadalai border post recently.<\/p>\n

Mr Mbye further sincerely thanked the GRA Board and Management for not only initiating a meeting with the staff on the ground, but also for sticking to it.<\/p>\n

He cited that the GRA board and management visit to provincial posting will no doubt boost their morale and increase their motivation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe visit demonstrates that the Board\u2019s oversight function of the Authority is not done with the predator intents of the hawk, but the kindness of the guardian angel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The commissioner further acknowledged the efforts of the manager and his team in organising such a welcoming and well prepared meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sure that the management and the Board are very much pleased and appreciative of your level of preparations so far,\u201d he said. \u201cYour monthly revenue collection speaks volumes of your hard work and industrious disposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Mbye also commended the other security \/ border agencies for the close collaboration and team work.<\/p>\n

He added that GRA believes that the work of revenue collection is an interplay of various concomitants directly or indirectly enabled by other border agencies (the Police, Immigration, Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Food Safety, the Military, State Intelligence, e.tc) the absence of whom things will fall apart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all aware of the numerous cross border threats that confront our wellbeing as a country, and it is only when we complement each other\u2019s efforts that we can effectively deal with these threats,\u201d he affirmed, saying: \u201cI encourage all of you to work as one team; that is, carryout joint patrol and above all share information to make each other work easier and cost effective.\u201d<\/p>\n
