A Ghanaian Journalist, Sacut Amenga-Etego, has petitioned the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), over the purchase of Christmas decorations, involving the board chairman of the Ghana Airport Company Limited, Mr. Paul Adom-Otchere.

The petitioner is also praying the human rights body to initiate a prosecution against the board chairman, and declare him guilty of procurement breaches.

Portions of his petition read as follows: “The petitioner therefore seeks the following reliefs: A declaration that Mr. Paul Adom Otchere, board chairman of the Ghana Airport Company, has breached several provisions of the public procurement law, the public financial administration law and the principles of corporate governance in the case of the procurement of Christmas trees for the Ghana Airport Company in December 2021.
