The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has formally charged Paul Adom‑Otchere, former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), along with two other individuals, in connection with an investigation into a revenue assurance contract awarded without competitive procurement.
His legal team has declined to comment, and his current whereabouts remain unclear.
Mr. Adom-Otchere was invited by the OSP as part of a broader probe into alleged corruption and corruption-related offences arising from a contract between GACL and a private firm.
In an official letter dated July 25, 2025, the OSP named him as a suspect in the matter.
Confirming the summons in an interview with Citi Newsroom, Mr. Adom-Otchere said he was scheduled to meet investigators at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 31.
“The two other persons are Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah … and Albert Adjetey Adjei‑Laryea” the statement said.
SML has come under intense scrutiny following its revenue assurance contracts with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
However, he described the OSP’s invitation as a “witch-hunt,” insisting that he had no direct role in executing the contract in question.
“The contract in question was signed by the Managing Director of Ghana Airports Company, and I was not even aware that the contract had been executed,” he said.
Mr. Adom-Otchere further questioned why the investigation appeared to be focused on him, despite the availability of management officials who were directly involved in the operational decision.
