Christmas trees at KIA cost GHS34k; the cheapest since 2016 — Adom-Otchere
The Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company, Paul Adom-Otchere has rubbished allegations that his outfit spent a whopping GHS84,000 on Christmas trees to decorate the Kotoka International Airport last month.
In a Facebook post, the Good Evening Ghana host has clarified that the cost of the Christmas at terminal 3 as well as three others alltogether cost GHS34,000.
According to him, the spending is the lowest since 2016.
He indicated that claims to paint a different picture by naysayers are just ridiculous.
“The Ghana Airports Company Limited has for many years mounted Christmas inspirations around the terminal area to create a festive atmosphere for passengers and their families coming into the country. The total expenditure of 2021 is the lowest since 2016.
“Two separate suppliers were invited to submit bids. The bids were discussed and discounts obtained. (We are grateful to Jandel Limited and Favors and Arts).
“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),” Paul Adom-Otchere has said in a Facebook post.
He concludes, “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”.
