A top official of the Anti Corruption Commission has told The Satellite that the Commission is poised to track more of ex- President Ernest Koroma dynasty tax evaders, as the Thomas Koroma’s tax avoidance case involving US$127,547.75 is just a tip of the iceberg.

He said, as a Commission, they are convinced from evidence gathered from the general public, coupled with experienced gained from previous investigations that for the past ten years, there has been a significant rise in tax evasion from contracts awarded to relatives, friends, party members and loved ones of former political authorities.

Majority of these contracts are said to have blatantly breached procurement laws with impunity.

While ACC denies anyone who thinks the Thomas Koroma saga is a witch hunt, they call on doubters to wait and see, as more monies are yet to be recovered from these political dynasty tax evaders.

Meanwhile, T&S Company owned by the former President’s brother, Thomas Koroma found wanting of tax avoidance of USD$ 127,000 has already paid over USD$ 54,000 on two instalments following a settlement agreement between the culprit and the Commission.

According to the agreement, Thomas Koroma should pay the remaining balance of USD 72,942,47 not later than 30th June this year.

The said money was supposed to have been slashed from a consultancy fee of USD $127,547.75 received from NATCOM in respect of its building construction project and paid as GST to the then APC government led by his brother, ex -President Ernest Bai Koroma .
