Dear Sir,

Re: APOLOGY REGARDING PUBLICATION ON PROCUREMENT MATTERS AT GHANA AIRPORTS COMPANY LIMITED

We write in reference to your Counsel’s correspondence dated 19th November, 2025, and in acknowledgement of the concerns raised regarding our earlier publication relating to procurement practices at the Ghana Airports Company Limited.

Upon careful review and reflection, we wish to state unequivocally that it was never our intention to malign, disparage, or cause any reputational injury to your person.

Our publication was made within the context of broader public interest reporting and was not aimed at attributing any form of wrongdoing or misconduct to you.

However, we acknowledge that certain aspects of the publication may not have provided full, accurate, or sufficient context regarding your role and status in the matters referenced.

We therefore take this opportunity to clarify as follows:

You have never been formally charged with, nor found culpable of, any procurement-related misconduct by the Office of the Special Prosecutor or any other competent authority.

Any reference to your name in the said publication was not intended, and should not be construed as suggesting guilt, wrongdoing, or any adverse findings against you.

In the spirit of fairness, balanced reporting, and professional responsibility, we hereby unreservedly apologise for any distress, reputational harm, or misinterpretation that may have arisen from the publication.

We further assure you that we have initiated an internal editorial review, and all references relating to you in the said publication will be expunged from our system.

Additionally, we will publish this apology on our news platform to reaffirm that no adverse findings have ever been made against you regarding procurement matters.

We value accuracy, fairness, and integrity in our reporting and regret any unintended consequences resulting from the earlier publication.

Please accept our sincerest apologies.

Yours faithfully,
