The school was cited by the Auditor General for violating the Procurement Act in the purchase of some items in 2021 and 2022.

The items worth over GH₵300,000 involved some 17 entities.

This came up at the Public Accounts Committee on Wednesday, August 14, 2024.

The school’s justification for proceeding with the procurement process without adhering to the law.

But PAC Chairman, James Klutse Avedzi will have none of that.

“You have admitted that you have flouted so we will recommend you for prosecution,” he said.

Despite the School’s request for pardon, the Charman indicated that “what we can do is to refer you to the court that the court will set you free.”

“We don’t have that power here to do it. We can only recommend you, then the one that has the power will listen to your plea, go home free and don’t do it again” he added.

Answering questions under the cross-examination of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Jakpa said after the court had ruled on the submission of no case and asked him to open his defence, he felt “betrayed and angry”.

According to him, that was not the assurance the A-G had given him even after proposing to be a prosecution witness for the state and added that after that ruling, I (Jakpa) said,” There is a war between the two of us whether I am jailed or acquitted because you (A-G) are trying to jail me and take my liberty as an innocent citizen.”

The A-G, he said caused him pain, destroyed his business, international business network, and reputation, and stripped him of everything he had worked for over the years.

He added that after that ruling, he met with the A-G at Justice Kulendi’s house and said, “I told him (A-G) that he’s using his law skills and knowledge to take my liberty away from me unjustly and I told him I am going to use my underworld skills to pay him back.

After Jakpa’s response, the DPP asked, “So all that you did with recording the A-G and bringing it out in the open was in furtherance of your declaration of war on him?.”

Mr Jakpa disagrees with the DPP but said if the A-G had stayed in the protective confines of Justice Kulendi’s house where they normally meet, no such recording would have taken place.

“Because I cannot engage in any recording in my cousins (Justice Kulendi’s house, it will be a mark of disrespect and betrayal of family values,” he said.
