President Akufo-Addo has terminated the contract of the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Adjenim Boateng Adjei.
He was suspended following an investigative documentary by Manasseh Azure Awuni, which revealed a company he co-owned, has been selling government contracts it won through single-source and restrictive tendering, to the highest bidder.
The President also referred the allegations involving conflict of interest to CHRAJ and those relating to potential acts of corruption to the Office of the Special Prosecutor for their actions.
According to investigations conducted by CHRAJ Mr. Adjei put himself in several positions where his personal, relational and pecuniary interest in TDL and other companies actually conflicted with the performance of the functions of his office.
In a press release sighted by Plan B FM and signed by Eugene Arhin the Director of Communications at the presidency, the president expressed his appreciation to CHRAJ for the “methodical manner in which the matter was addressed.”
