Ghanaian media personality and host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV, Paul Adom Otchere is trending number one on Twitter as at the time of writing this article.
Ghanaians have taken to the social media platform to vent their anger on the Board Chairman of the Ghana Airport Company for wasting a huge sum of GHS84,000 on four Christmas Trees at the terminal T3 but did not pay workers’ salaries on time.
A report filed by Citinewsroom.com, a Facebook user has alleged that the company bought the trees at GHS84,000, but did not pay workers’ salaries on time.
Mr. Paul Adom Otchere, in a response on Facebook, however says the claims are untrue.
The Host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV insists that the company rather bought the trees at GHS34,000 and also at a “heavy discount”.
“The beautiful Christmas tree standing at Terminal 3 and 3 others altogether cost GHC 34,000, which was graciously provided by Jandel Limited at a heavy discount. (We thank Jandel Limited)”
“The other inspirations were provided by Favors and Arts for a total cost of GHC 84,000 out of which GHC 50,000 was obtained via sponsorship.”
Mr. Paul Adom Otchere also rejected claims that the staff of the company haven’t been paid their December salaries.
“All salaries and or bonuses due to staff for December have been paid.”
He also said claims that invoices for the trees were issued in his name are also untrue.
According to him, such allegations are spurious.
“It is ridiculous for anyone to say that the invoices from these two reputable companies were issued in the name of the Board Chairman, that just means the author of such spurious allegations has insufficient acquaintance with corporate workings.”
However, Ghanaians are not interested in his response as they are calling on the Special Prosecutor to probe into the matter by inviting Paul Otchere for further interrogations.
Some Netizens have gone as far as pulling out the invoice which was signed by Mr Paul Otchere for the purchase of the Christmas Trees.

AG and special prosecutor, the nonsense Paul Adom Otchere has done is a litmus test for you. You claim Ato Forson has caused financial lost . I’m not sure @AdomOtchere has added financial gain. Act fast fast koraa.

Paul Adom Otchere. You said you used to go to Kant for shirts on Saturdays in your Presec days. You get opportunity to be in powerful position and you spend the annual salaries four JSS teachers on a single Christmas tree?
