Hot SourceThe Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has formally charged Paul Adom-Otchere, the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), in connection with a controversial revenue assurance contract — but the embattled media personality remains in custody after failing to meet bail conditions.
Mr. Adom-Otchere, along with two others — Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah, Group Executive of Commercial Services at GACL, and Albert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea, CEO of Devnest Systems — was interrogated and charged by the OSP earlier this week.
Mr. Adom-Otchere has been unable to satisfy his bail terms, which require him to produce two landed properties registered in his name. However, he reportedly told investigators that he does not own any landed property in Ghana, prompting his continued detention.
The Special Prosecutor is investigating suspected corruption and procurement irregularities surrounding a sole-sourced contract awarded under Mr. Adom-Otchere’s watch. The deal, which was meant to improve revenue assurance at GACL, allegedly went to a company other than the one approved by the GACL Board. The firm in question is said to be connected to the owner of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
The ongoing probe forms part of a broader anti-corruption sweep targeting irregular public sector contracts and governance breaches in state-owned enterprises.
