The Special Prosecutor has charged the former Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority, Adjenim Boateng Adjei, with corruption offences in the ‘Contracts for Sale’ scandal.
He was charged with eight counts of using public office for profit and nine counts of directly and indirectly influencing the procurement process to obtain an unfair advantage in the award of a procurement contract.
Mr. Adjei was charged alongside his brother-in-law, Francis Kwaku Arhin, who is facing a charge of using public office for profit.
They will be arraigned before a high court on May 25.
These charges are the culmination of investigative work by journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni.
