President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has terminated the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Adjenim Boateng Adjei, with immediate effect.

This follows the submission of a report to the President by the Commissioner of
the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Joseph
Whittal, in which the Commission concluded that, on the totality of the evidence, Mr. Adjenim Boateng Adjei had put himself in a position where his personal interests conflicted with the performance of his functions as CEO and Board Member of the PPA.

It will be recalled that on 22nd August 2019, President Akufo-Addo suspended Mr. Adjenim Boateng Adjei from office, following the broadcast of allegations made against him in an investigative documentary conducted by Manasseh Azure Awuni, titled “Contracts for Sale”.

He, subsequently, referred the allegations involving conflict of interest to CHRAJ, and those relating to potential acts of corruption to the Office of Special Prosecutor, for their action.

Having satisfied himself of the fact that the recommendation made by CHRAJ is
properly motivated and well-founded, the President has expressed his appreciation
and gratitude to Mr. Joseph Whittal and CHRAJ for the thorough and methodical
manner in which the matter has been addressed.
