Paul Adom-Otchere alleges witch-hunt after OSP’s summons

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has invited 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.

A letter dated July 25, 2025, identified Mr. Adom-Otchere as a suspect in the probe, which focuses on alleged corruption and related offences involving a deal between GACL and a private firm.

Reacting to the development in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, Mr. Adom-Otchere described the invitation as politically motivated.

“I see this as a witch-hunt. I had no direct involvement in the signing of the contract under investigation,” he said.

He explained that the agreement in question was executed by GACL’s Managing Director, Yvonne Opare, adding that he was not even aware that the deal had been finalised.

Mr. Adom-Otchere further questioned the direction of the probe, suggesting that investigators should focus on officials who were directly involved.

“I don’t understand why this is being targeted at me when the relevant management officials—including the Managing Director—are available and were directly involved in the operational decision,” he added.

While the OSP has yet to disclose further details on the scope of the investigation, the broadcaster indicated that he is expected to appear before investigators at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 31.
