Allegations Emerge Over COCOBOD Deputy CEO’s Contract Award
Allegations have surfaced involving a Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), claiming that he awarded a contract to himself through a sole-sourcing arrangement and subsequently used COCOBOD resources to execute the contract.
According to the claims, the contract was reportedly awarded to a company linked to the Deputy CEO. It is further alleged that COCOBOD assets, including warehouse facilities and official vehicles, were used in carrying out the contract.
The development has sparked public debate, with critics calling for transparency and a thorough investigation into the matter. Concerns have been raised about potential conflict of interest and adherence to public procurement regulations.
As of now, there has been no official response addressing the allegations. Observers say the situation is likely to attract scrutiny from oversight bodies, particularly given the strategic importance of COCOBOD to Ghana’s economy.
Further updates are expected as more details emerge.
