Former Ghana Airports Company Board Chairman, Paul Adom-Otchere, has filed an application at the High Court seeking to quash a directive by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) ordering him to declare his property and income.
His lawyers, led by former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, argue that the directive issued on 4 August 2025 is unlawful, violates the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959) and its regulations, and constitutes an abuse of power.
Paul Adom-Otchere, who is under investigation by the OSP for suspected corruption and corruption-related offences in the award of a revenue assurance contract by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) to Evatex Limited, is seeking several reliefs from the court.
These include a declaration that the OSP’s directive and alleged threats of “legal consequences”, “confiscation”, and “detention” are unlawful and amount to harassment.
He is also asking for an order prohibiting the OSP from detaining him should he refuse to declare his property and income to the office by the stated deadline, among other reliefs.
Also charged in the same matter are Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah, Group Executive of Commercial Services at GACL, and Albert Adjetey Adjei‑Laryea, the Chief Executive Officer of Devnest Systems, the private firm at the centre of the deal.
According to the Office of the Special Prosecutor, the charges stem from possible breaches of procurement laws regarding a revenue assurance contract awarded to Devnest Systems.
Investigators believe the contract was issued without competitive tendering and without approval from the GACL Board, in violation of Ghana’s Public Procurement Act.
This particular contract allegedly shares similarities with those previously awarded to Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited, a private company that has faced significant public and regulatory scrutiny in recent months for its dealings with government agencies, especially the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
