PAUL ADOM-OTCHERE DENIES ALLEGATION OF PLOT TO REMOVE GACL MD

He highlighted that the allegations lacked any basis in truth and worked to clear up any misunderstandings that might have resulted from the claims.

“Somebody may have told them and so we have to get to the grand agenda that is being waged against the board chairman because seriously, I don’t understand. Somebody must have told them something and if nobody told them anything and out of their independent reading, it turns out that their independent reading is a figment of their own imagination as they seem to be suggesting now, then we have some little investigations to do but I can say the story is not true and I have said this many times.”

The board chairman does not have the authority to either appoint or dismiss an MD of the Company, according to Mr. Adom-Otchere, who stated that he communicates with the MD virtually every day.

“I interacted with her today and we talk almost every day. We even had a board meeting last week and all the board members were there. When the matter came out two days ago, she texted me that there was an issue that we need to meet about and I asked her to send me the copy and she didn’t send it immediately and we didn’t talk again and that is how it ended but we talked today about normal office issues.

“The board chair doesn’t do anything with appointing or removing the managing director. That authority is at the presidency and should the board chairman make that call, the MD would have been called but nothing of that sort happened.”
