In an editorial on his show, Mr. Adom-Otchere said the termination of the initial contract by Dr. Bawumia and the BOG Governor, Dr. Addison saved the country over $2.5 billion dollars.

The case at the London International Court of Arbitration (LCIA) also saw Sibton Switch being ordered to make a substantial payment to the Bank in respect of its legal fees and costs of the arbitration.
Sibton Switch took Ghana’s Central Bank to the court in relation to the termination of the Master Agreement for the Ghana Retail Payment Systems Infrastructure in 2017 by the bank.
