The Office of the Special Prosecutor has formally charged the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, Paul Adom-Otchere, and two others.
Mr. Adom-Otchere was, however, unable to meet his bail conditions and has since been detained.
An official update issued by the OSP indicated that the broadcast journalist was required to present two landed properties (of no specific value) registered in his name.
“However, he has informed the OSP that he does not own landed property in Ghana. As a result, he remains in custody until the bail terms are satisfied,” the OSP said its update posted on the official Facebook page.
According to the OSP, Mr Adom-Otchere is under investigation alongside 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.”

……………….
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has interviewed and formally charged the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, Paul Adom-Otchere and two others. However, Mr Adom-Otchere has so far been unable to meet his bail conditions.
He is required to present two landed properties (of no specific value) registered in his name. However, he has informed the OSP that he does not own landed property in Ghana. As a result, he remains in custody until the bail terms are satisfied.
The two other persons are Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah- Group Executive, Commercial Services, GACL and Albert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea – CEO of Devnest Systems.
Mr Adom-Otchere is 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.
