Paul Adom-Otchere, the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), has alleged that Investigative Journalist Manasseh Azure is working with the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
Speaking on his show, Good Evening show, Adom Otchere narrated, “You don’t have 20 per cent MD drop them to 16 per cent, so it was agreed, and then MD was told that go ahead and do the things you have to do, those are due diligence, public procurement and then get the document done. This was around November.
So, this was the last thing I heard about that process. Then December came, then the election came soon after the election, we were out by January, we had resigned, all of us had resigned”.
According to Adom Otchere, it was Manasseh Azure who informed him that the GACL MD had signed the contract.
He added, “I didn’t know they had signed the contract, some 10 days ago, Manasseh Azure called me that he was investigating this matter, so when the OSP came, all the Lawyers were wondering are they were working together.
Manasseh Azure was one of the people you had been talking about. Kissi Agyebeng is one of the people you have been talking about; they seem to be working together, but I don’t know, and it does not matter.
Manasseh Azure called me and said Who is Eva? What is the Evatest contract? And I said What was that, he said Evatest, the people doing quality assurance, I said The people who do the think SML does he said yes. I said I don’t know about it, I don’t know what it gone to”.
Paul Adom Otchere added, “It was Manasseh Azure who told me that the contract has been signed by the Managing Director on the 4th of December, three days to the election”.
However, Manasseh, in a social media letter to Paul Adom Otchere, called out him out for lying to Ghanaians.
Manasseh wrote, “You said I had engaged you on this matter, and we had exchanged questions and answers. You also said you had yet to respond to some of the questions I sent you. This is wholly correct. And I’m still waiting for your response to the questions after the several promises and timelines you gave me”.
He added, In distancing yourself from the contract, you claimed on your show this morning that you didn’t know the owners of the company that won the shady contracts. Paul, this is false. You have admitted to me, not once but TWICE, that you knew the owners of the company from the very beginning.
I HAVE EVIDENCE OF THIS. I also have evidence that a year before that company (the one which eventually won the contract) came to the board meeting you chaired at the GACL, you had met those behind the company. So, Paul, it’s a lie if you claim you didn’t know the owners of the company that won the contract”.
Manasseh further revealed that his comments are just based on Adom Otchere’s release, in which he named him.
He added that the story itself will reveal why the deal is a scandal and why Addom Otchere, the MD of GACL, and the PPA may need to answer some critical questions.
