In light of the recent controversies surrounding the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), political commentator Kevin Taylor has called for the dismissal of Mrs Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, the Managing Director of the company.

In a public statement, Taylor raised concerns about several scandals that had emerged at the airport under her leadership, even before President John Mahama assumed office.

Taylor’s concerns are rooted in several incidents that have caught the public’s attention.

YEN.com.gh understands that there have been issues with contracts, procurement irregularities, and alleged mismanagement surrounding GACL.

The recent termination of the revenue assurance agreement between GACL and Evatex Logistics, which is now subject to legal action, is one of the most prominent controversies that Taylor highlighted.

In his statement, Taylor called on the President to appoint a more competent individual to lead GACL, someone who can restore public confidence and bring a fresh approach to the operations of the airport.

According to him, the position of MD could be better suited for someone from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who may offer a more transparent and effective leadership style.
