A brewing legal standoff looms between Evatex Logistics Limited and the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) following the latter’s decision to terminate a multimillion-dollar contract.
In a letter dated July 28, 2025, legal representatives for Evatex, K-Archy & Company, responded sharply to GACL’s intention to terminate the Revenue Assurance Audit Agreement signed on December 4, 2024.
The agreement, which was to become effective from August 27, 2024, is now at the centre of what Evatex describes as an “unreasonable” and “bad faith” move by GACL.
According to the lawyers, Evatex had already made significant financial commitments towards the contract, investing over $64.6 million in infrastructure tailored specifically for the project.
The company claims it has also begun executing its mandate under the agreement and has prepared detailed reports for GACL’s consideration.
Evatex, expressing its “utter dismay,” has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Ghana Airports Company to retract the termination notice. Failing that, the logistics firm threatens to pursue legal action to recover its investments and seek further relief.
This latest development casts uncertainty over the future of the audit agreement and raises broader concerns over contract enforcement and investor confidence within Ghana’s public sector landscape.
Neither GACL nor Evatex has made further public statements as of the time of reporting.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has charged Paul Adom‑Otchere, former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), for his alleged role in unlawfully awarding a revenue assurance contract without following due procurement processes.
The case, which centres on a sole-sourced agreement between GACL and a private technology firm, represents a deepening probe into the opaque dealings within Ghana’s state-owned enterprises and highlights the growing scrutiny on the operations of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) and its associates.
In a statement released on its official social media platforms on Wednesday, July 31, the OSP confirmed that Adom-Otchere has not yet satisfied his bail conditions and is still in custody.
He is required to produce two landed properties registered in his name in Ghana as surety.
