Mr Duodu revealed this when they presented the highest tax payer in 2020 award plaque to, Dr. Kwaku Oteng, the CEO of Angel Group of companies.
In response to that, Dr. Kwaku Oteng, expressed his profound gratitude to the Ghana Revenue Authority giving him the award and other way encouraging him to pay tax.
