Mr Kpebu appeared to support the suspended CEO, saying even in the documentary that led to his suspension by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, AB Adjei lost some of the contracts he bid for despite his interests. “What I am interested in seeing is that, was there a loss to the public purse?” But also on the programme was Dr Ahmed Jinapor, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), who opined that the law may be “technical” to exonerate the embattled government appointee but “in the face of the public, Mr Adjei is guilty”. He said time should be allowed to make the law take its course despite expressing disagreement with the self-recognisance bail granted him by the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
AB Adjei was suspended after an investigative documentary by freelance journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni revealed that a company he co-owns sells government contracts it won through single-source and restrictive tendering to the highest bidder. After suspending him, President Akufo-Addo directed the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and the OSP to further investigate Mr Adjei on corruption and possible case of conflict of interest.
