Suspended Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) has said he is unnecessarily being vilified by Ghanaians over unsubstantiated claims of corruption levelled against him.
“The public is simply speaking words of untruth. I regret the way I am being crucified for doing nothing,” he told the media after his interrogation by the Special Prosecutor.
Investigators at the Office of the Special Prosecutor questioned Mr. Adjenim Boateng Adjei today [Thursday].
He arrived at the office around 10 am following an invitation to him by the office.
The office is investigating Mr. Adjenim Adjei over allegations of illegally selling government contracts.
President Akufo-Addo suspended Mr Adjei last week after a documentary by journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni revealed that he was allegedly engaged in selling government contracts.
In the documentary, a company, allegedly owned by Mr. Adjenim Adjei was found to be getting many government contracts through restrictive tendering and selling those contracts to others for profit.
Meanwhile lawyer for Mr. Adjenim Adjei, who also spoke to Citi News’ Umaru Sanda Amadu, Augustine Obuor is insisting the company in question, TDL never sold contracts to any company as suggested.
