A private legal practitioner Charles Akoto Lamptey Jnr Esq has petitioned the President of the Republic of Ghana to immediately suspend the ongoing contract for works on Terminal 2 at the Kotoka International Airport, citing serious concerns over procurement integrity, economic efficiency, and national infrastructure planning.
In the petition, the lawyer argues that historical records and institutional decisions clearly established Terminal 2 as inadequate, a position that informed the construction of Terminal 3 as a modern replacement facility.

According to the petitioner, that decision was grounded in engineering realities, operational inefficiencies, and the need to meet growing passenger demand.
However, the current works on Terminal 2, which authorities have described as “repurposing,” are being challenged as misleading.
The petitioner contends that the nature of the works, including leak repairs, ceiling replacements, and structural patching, amounts to refurbishment rather than repurposing.
“This distinction is not merely semantic,” the petition states. “Mischaracterising refurbishment as repurposing risks distorting the basis upon which contracts are awarded and public funds justified.”
