Accra: The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has charged Paul Adom-Otchere, a former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), alongside two others, in connection with an investigation into a contract awarded by GACL.
According to Ghana News Agency, the two others involved in the case are Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah, Group Executive of Commercial Services at GACL, and Albert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea, CEO of Devnest Systems. The investigation focuses on a revenue assurance contract between GACL and a private firm linked to the owner of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML).
The OSP has highlighted potential procurement irregularities, specifically concerning a sole-sourced contract that was allegedly awarded to a company not approved by the GACL Board. Paul Adom-Otchere has been unable to meet his bail conditions, which required him to present two landed properties registered in his name. He has informed the OSP that he does not own any landed property in Ghana, resulting in his continued detention until the bail terms are fulfilled.
