Paul Adom-Otchere breaks his silence on OSP's corruption probe against him

Former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Paul Adom-Otchere, has pushed back against an ongoing investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), describing his invitation for questioning as a targeted act of "witch-hunting."

The OSP, in a letter dated July 25, 2025, identified the broadcaster and host of Good Evening Ghana as a suspect in a probe involving alleged corruption and procurement breaches tied to a revenue assurance audit contract awarded during his tenure at GACL.

Speaking in an interview on Joy FM on July 30, 2025, Adom-Otchere emphasised that the concerns under investigation fall within the scope of GACL's management, not the board he once chaired.

"My initial reaction would be that there's a witch-hunt. I just hope that I'm wrong because the issues that are being investigated are purely management issues. It's not really a Board Chairman issue," myjoyonline.com quoted him as saying.

The OSP directed him to appear before investigators at its South Ridge office in Accra on Thursday, July 31, 2025.

However, Adom-Otchere has confirmed that his legal counsel is currently engaged in court proceedings in Kumasi and has therefore requested a rescheduling of the meeting.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, his legal team has formally communicated with the OSP to seek a new date, Monday, August 4, 2025, for the interrogation.

The ongoing investigation centres on a revenue assurance contract between GACL and a private firm, with the OSP examining possible violations of public procurement laws and suspected corruption-related offences.

Adom-Otchere was appointed Chairman of the GACL board in 2021 by then-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, following a prior role as a board member of the National Communications Authority.
