Godfred Dame

Akufo-Addo deserves commendation for dismissing former PPA boss – Godfred Dame
The Attorney General and Minister for
Justice-designate, Godfred Dame has stated that
the President, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo should
be commended for his decision to dismiss the
former Chief Executive Officer of the Public
Procurement Authority (PPA), Adjenim Boateng
Adjei.

According to him, the President considered the
report of the Commission on Human Rights and
Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) on the former PPA
boss and decided his termination is the right
decision.

“The termination of the appointment of the
former PPA CEO [Adjenim Boateng Adjei] was done by
President Akufo-Addo in the exercise of his powers
under the law. He [President Akufo-Addo]
considered the CHRAJ report and had no hesitation
at all that the best step in the interest of the
nation was to terminate the appointment of Mr.
A.B. Adjei. I think the President ought to be
commended for the swift and decisive manner in
which the termination was done.”

He made this known during his vetting at the
Parliament House on Friday, February 12, 2021.

Mr. Adjenim Boateng Adjei was dismissed in October
2020, by President Akufo-Addo after he was accused
of conflict of interest.

CHRAJ had said the money accrued in Mr. Adjei’s
accounts since assuming office in 2017 stood at
GHS 14.8 million from his four Dollar and Euro
accounts held at two banks, and he could not
satisfactorily explain the source of the large
volumes of excess wealth that passed through his
bank accounts between March 2017 and August 2019.

CHRAJ after investigating Mr. Adjei found him
guilty of conflict of interest in the performance
of his duties after sidestepping procurement
procedures for personal gains.

He was also caught in compromising positions in an
investigative piece put together by freelance
journalist, Manasseh Awuni Azure in 2019.

He was found to be getting government contracts
through restricted tendering and selling those
contracts to others for profit.
