Evatex Logistics Limited, a mining and stevedoring firm turned government contractor, is threatening to sue the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) over the termination of a controversial auditing and revenue assurance contract at Kotoka International Airport.
In a letter sent by its legal representatives, K-Archy & Company, Evatex demanded that GACL rescind its termination notice within seven days or face legal action. The company claims to have invested approximately $64.6 million into the project and is seeking to protect that investment through the courts.
“The purported termination is unacceptable,” the letter stated, arguing that Evatex had already commenced work and submitted reports under the terms of the contract.
The agreement, signed in December 2024 and implemented in April 2025, entitled Evatex to 15% of any uncovered revenue as part of its auditing responsibilities. However, GACL maintains the company has yet to recover any revenue since it began operations, raising questions about its performance and the justification for such a high-value contract.
The GACL issued a formal termination notice on July 8, citing multiple legal breaches, including violations of Ghana’s procurement laws. The contract, experts argue, may be void due to these irregularities.
An investigation by journalists Evans Aziamor-Mensah, Adwoa Adobea-Owusu, and Manasseh Azure Awuni reported that Evatex lacked the technical capacity to execute the contract and obtained it under questionable circumstances.
Adding to the controversy, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has launched a formal investigation into the matter and has already arrested several officials, including Paul Adom-Otchere, the former board chairman of GACL.
The case bears similarities to a 2024 KPMG audit, which found that another firm, Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), was unable to substantiate claims of large capital investments under similar contracts.
Evans Adusei, CEO of Evatex Logistics, is also the CEO and owner of Evatex, further raising concerns over potential conflicts of interest.
