By Morkporkpor Anku

Accra, July 31, GNA- The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has charged the Mr Paul Adom-Otchere, a former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) and two others.

The two other persons are Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah- Group Executive, Commercial Services, GACL, and Albert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea – CEO of Devnest Systems.

However, Mr Adom-Otchere has so far been unable to meet his bail conditions.

According to the OSP, he was required to present two landed properties (of no specific value) registered in his name.

The OSP said he had informed the Office that he does not own landed property in Ghana.

“As a result, he remains in custody until the bail terms are satisfied,” it added.

Mr Adom-Otchere was under investigation in connection with a revenue assurance contract between the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) and a private firm owned by the proprietor of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML).

The OSP is examining possible procurement breaches, including a sole-sourced contract awarded to a company other than the one approved by the GACL Board.
