Ace Journalist and Board Chairman of The Ghana Airports Company Limited Mr. Paul Adom Otchere has explained how 84,000 cedis was spent on Christmas decorations at The Kotoka International Airport.
Contrary to allegations by some social media allegations, Mr. Paul Adom Otchere says the Company spent just about 34,000 while the remaining 50,000 was a sponsorship offer.

Here are the facts:
FACT: The total expenditure of 2021 is the lowest since 2016.
FACT: Two separate suppliers were invited to submit bids. The bids were discussed and discounts obtained. ( We are grateful to Jandel Limited and Favors and Arts)
FACT: The beautiful Christmas tree standing at Terminal 3 and 3 others altogether cost GHC 34,000, which was graciously provided by Jandel Limited at a heavy discount. (We thank Jandel Limited)
FACT: The other inspirations were provided by Favors and Arts for a total cost of GHC 84,000 out of which GHC 50,000 was obtained via sponsorship.
It is ridiculous for anyone to say that the invoices from these two reputable companies were issued in the name of the Board Chairman, that just means the author of such spurious allegations has insufficient acquaintance with corporate workings.
We will like to urge the general public to disregard these unfounded allegations. The GACL has a fully operational corporate affairs department that is able to attend to all public inquiries.
We will like to assure the general public that we are fiercely committed to supporting the Hon Minister of Transport to achieve President Akufo-Addo’s vision for the airport, the vision contained in clear directions is to “make all Ghana airports an important symbol for our national development agenda”.
That is our focus for which we require prayers and support. Amen
Veteran broadcast journalist Paul Adom Otchere was appointed by President Akufo-Addo as the Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited in September 2021.
