"Your Excellency, I am inclined to believe that you may not be aware of all these issues, hence the need to bring them to your attention,Said Dr. Sam.

"Our concerns are based on total and absolute disregard and disregard for the principles of transparency, fairness, equity and the laws governing the award of professional services contracts by corporations and statutory bodies."

According to him, David Adjaye and Associates, owned by British architect David Adjaye, is not allowed to operate in Ghana.

He explained that the company was not registered under the 1968 Architects Decree (NRCD357) or the Ghana Institute of Architects.
