Evatex Logistics Limited, the mining and stevedoring company, which was awarded an auditing and revenue assurance contract at the Kotoka International Airport, has threatened to sue the Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) over the decision to terminate the contract.
Evatex has ordered GACL to withdraw the notification to terminate the contract within seven days.
If GACL fails to do so, Evatex says it will proceed to court to enforce its rights, "including but not limited to its capital investments stated supra." A letter written by lawyers for Evatex, K-Archy & Company, stated a claim by Evatex that it has invested $64.6 million in the airport contract. "We are instructed by our client to inform you that the purported termination is unacceptable to it, given its capital investments into this contract in the region of $64,600,000.
Moreover, our client had already started executing its assignment in fulfillment of the contract and indeed prepared reports for your attention and action," the letter stated.
