Paul Adom-Otchere detained by OSP over revenue assurance contract between GACL and SML

The Office of the Special Prosecutor has detained Paul Adom-Otchere, a former Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited’s board, and two others.

Adom-Otchere, a seasoned broadcaster in Ghana, and the two others – Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah, Group Executive, Commercial Services, GACL, and Albert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea, CEO of Devnest Systems – were detained after honouring an invitation by the OSP.

According to a post shared by the OSP, the three were questioned over possible procurement breaches in the revenue assurance contract between GACL and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).

“Mr Adom-Otchere is under investigation in connection with a revenue assurance contract between the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) and a private firm owned by the proprietor of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML). The OSP is examining possible procurement breaches, including a sole-sourced contract awarded to a company other than the one approved by the GACL Board,” part of the post, which was shared on Thursday, July 31, 2025, reads.

The OSP indicated that the three men have been charged and were detained after failing to meet the bail conditions that were set for their release.

“The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has interviewed and formally charged the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, Paul Adom-Otchere, and two others. However, Mr Adom-Otchere has so far been unable to meet his bail conditions.

“He is required to present two landed properties (of no specific value) registered in his name. However, he has informed the OSP that he does not own landed property in Ghana. As a result, he remains in custody until the bail terms are satisfied,” the OSP said.
