Christmas tree at KIA |
The board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Paul
Adom-Otchere has dismissed claims that the Kotoka International Airport bought
2021 Christmas trees at GHS84,000.
Some social media activists are criticising the company for
what they say is the high price at which they bought the Christmas tree.
Reacting to the claims, the Good Evening Ghana host said this
year’s Christmas tree is cheapest over the years.
“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),” he wrote on Facebook.
He continued: “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)
“The other inspirations were provided by Favors and Arts for a
total cost of GHC 84,000 out of which GHC 50,000 was obtained via sponsorship.
All salaries and or bonuses due staff for December have been paid.
“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”.
