Former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Paul Adom-Otchere, has described the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) decision to invite him for questioning over a revenue assurance audit contract as an act of “witch-hunting.”

Speaking on Joy FM’s Newsnite on Wednesday, July 30, Mr Adom-Otchere insisted that the concerns raised by the OSP are management-level issues, not matters within the remit of the board he once chaired.

In a letter dated July 25, 2025, the OSP identified Adom-Otchere as a suspect in its probe into alleged corruption and corruption-related offences involving a contract between GACL and a private firm.

“My initial reaction would be that there's a witch-hunt. I just hope that I'm wrong because the issues that are being investigated are purely management issues. Its not really a Board chairman issue," he explained.

He was directed to appear before investigators at the OSP’s South Ridge office on Thursday, July 31.

While confirming receipt of the OSP's invitation, Mr Adom-Otchere explained that his legal team is currently unavailable due to prior court engagements in Kumasi.

He noted that he has formally written to the Special Prosecutor to request a new date and has pledged to honour the invitation once his lawyers are available.

The OSP’s investigation is focused on alleged procurement breaches in the award of a revenue assurance contract during Adom-Otchere’s tenure as Board Chairman.
