It is in respect of procurement breaches by the former Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) and his brother-in-law, so that is what we are in court for today. Their pleas were taken… We’ll be back to comply with the court proceedings.”

Contained in a statement issued by the Office of the Special Prosecutor on Wednesday May 18, 2022, it stated that Adjenim Boateng and his brother-in-law are facing 18 counts of use of public office for profit. Adjenim Boateng 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.

Similarly, Francis Kwaku Arhin, the brother-in-law of Adjenim Boateng Adjei, has been charged with one count for using public office for profit.

Prior to this, investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, disclosed that the former PPA boss had allegedly withdrawn all funds from his frozen bank accounts despite a court order not to release cash from his account. Mr Awuni explained that the accounts which were frozen during the investigation by the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, was for a period of which he had to go back to the court to justify why the account should remain frozen.

“In the process, he resigned and left, and it took some time for his successor to take office.”
