OSP invites Adom-Otchere over GACL contract; He alleges ‘witch hunt’

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has invited the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Paul Adom-Otchere, for questioning in connection with an ongoing investigation into a revenue assurance audit contract.

In an official letter dated July 25, 2025, the OSP named Mr. Adom-Otchere as a suspect in its probe into alleged corruption and corruption-related offences arising from a contract between GACL and a private firm.

Confirming the development in an interview with Citi Newsroom, Mr. Adom-Otchere acknowledged receiving the summons and stated he was scheduled to meet investigators at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 31.

However, he described the invitation as a “witch-hunt”, insisting he had no direct involvement in the signing of the contract under investigation.

According to him, the contract in question was signed by the Managing Director of Ghana Airports Company, and was not even aware that the contract had been executed.

Mr. Adom-Otchere further questioned why the probe appears to be targeting him when, according to him, the relevant management officials—including the GACL Managing Director—are available and were directly involved in the operational decision.
