Kwabena Yeboah, a board member of the Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) has opined that given the chance, the board chair of GACL, Paul Adom-Otchere will act differently in the matter of the purchase of materials for the decoration of the Kotoka International Airport last year.<\/p>\n
Kwabena Yeboah suggested in an interview with Blakk Rasta on 3FM that Paul Adom-Otchere would react differently if the situation was to be reversed.<\/p>\n
According to him, owing to the backlash that his actions generated, Adom-Otchere would have delegated the CEO of KIA to handle the matter of purchasing items for the decoration of the airport.<\/p>\n
He disclosed that this year\u2019s decorations were fully-funded by the Ghana Oil Limited (GOIL) and that the processes were fully handled by the CEO .<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hadn\u2019t been sworn as a board yet. I haven\u2019t spoken to him specifically about this but I want to believe that if he had an opportunity, he would have loved the CEO to do that.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, this coming Christmas, we are decorating the place but it has got nothing to do with us. It\u2019s GOIL who have decided to sponsor the whole package.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I said, I didn\u2019t not know the peculiar circumstances under which he decided to have his name on the invoice but considering the furore and uproar, if he had the opportunity, he would have been better off staying away and letting the CEO do that job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Paul Adom-Otchere got a lot flak after it emerged that the procurement of Christmas trees for the airport were done by himself, the Board Chair.<\/p>\n
The procurement process a well as the cost of the decoration drew the ire of some Ghanaians who accused Adom-Otchere of engaging in profligacy.<\/p>\n
It was reported that it cost the GACL GH\u20b584,000 to decorate the place but Adom-Otchere refuted the allegations, mentioning GH \u20b534,000 as the cost because portions of the works had been fully sponsored.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe beautiful Christmas tree standing at Terminal 3 and 3 others altogether cost GHC 34,000, which was graciously provided by Jandel Limited at a heavy discount. (We thank Jandel Limited)\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other inspirations were provided by Favors and Arts for a total cost of GHC 84,000 out of which GHC 50,000 was obtained via sponsorship,\u201d he said on his Good Evening Ghana programme last year.<\/p>\n
