‘I’m being crucified for doing nothing’ – Suspended PPA Boss

“Whoever bought a contract from us should come and tell us…We have not sold any contract. Let him [Manasseh Azure Awuni] show us a signed contract that TDL has entered into with any company.”

Following the suspension of Mr. Adjei over the ‘Contracts for Sale’ documentary, many civil society organizations have called for the dissolution of the PPA Board for failing to exercise oversight responsibility in the award of contracts.

We don’t influence tender processes – PPA Board

But, the Board in a statement, however, absolved itself from blame, assuring that the findings of the probe by the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and Special Prosecutor will prove that it has no role in giving approvals for restrictive tendering and single-source procurement contracts.

It has also indicated its readiness to assist with the state agencies in their investigations to bring finality to the matter.

“The Board fully welcomes the President’s directives to conduct investigations into the matter. The Board expresses its preparedness to cooperate with the investigations. The Board further assures the public that following the investigations ordered by the President, it will become evident that the Board of the PPA does not influence tender processes conducted in accordance with Act 663, as amended.”
