Vomit GH¢5m Cash Now CHRAJ Orders Former PPA
Mr Adjenim Boateng Adjei
The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice CHRAJ has given a punitive punishment to the embattled former Chief Executive Officer CEO of the Public Procurement Authority PPA, Mr. Adjenim Boateng Adjei.
The CHRAJ has disqualified Mr. Adjei from holding public office for the next 10 years while the Commission also directed Mr. Adjei to refund the state GH¢5,697,530 within six months.
Failure by Mr. Adjei to comply with the directive of the compassion to refund GH¢ 5,697,5 30 would land him into another grip of the law which eventually lead him to jail.
This followed a petition filed by anti-graft firm Ghana Integrity Initiative GII after an investigative documentary by Manasseh Azure Awuni exposed how the former PPA CEO established a company to which contracts were diverted.
The company, Talent Discovery Limited TDL, incorporated in June 2017, won several government contracts through restrictive tendering with monies accrued sitting in the personal bank account of Mr. Boateng Adjei.
In its petition on October 4, 2019, GII urged CHRAJ to investigate officials of TDL, especially Thomas Amoah as well as those public officers of procurement entities for their involvement in corruption in the award of contracts to TDL and the “sale” of contracts.
In the CHRAJ findings, Mr. Boateng Adjei was said to have put himself in a conflict of interest position, abused his office on two occasions, and failed to declare his assets as required by Chapter 24 of the 1992 Constitution.
Therefore, he is not to take any public office for the next 10 years and ordered to declare his assets within three months by Article 28 1c of the Constitution.
Out of the over GH¢5 million is to refund, he is reported to have made available GH¢86,000.
