The government has directed the Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) to suspend, with immediate effect, a contract it has with Sohin Security Company, providers of security services at the various airports in the country.
A statement signed by the Minister for Information and Media Relations, Mahama Ayariga, said the suspension is in response to ongoing investigations into the activities of that security company and its management.
The management of the GACL, according to the statement, has also “been directed to liaise with the state security agencies, to ensure that the security apparatus at the airports is not compromised during the transition following the directive”.
The government has over the last few months been involved in a review and investigation into the operations of various state institutions with a view to improving their service delivery, revenue mobilization and prevention of crimes against the state, the statement concluded.
