Evatex Logistics rejects GACL’s contract termination, demands reversal within 7 days
Evatex Logistics Limited has expressed disappointment over the Ghana Airports Company Limited’s (GACL) decision to terminate their Revenue Assurance Audit Agreement.
In a letter addressed to GACL by its lawyers, K-Archy & Company, the company described the termination notice as shocking and claimed it was made in bad faith.
The legal representatives said Evatex had already made significant capital investments of about $64.6 million in infrastructure specifically tailored for GACL, based on the agreement signed on December 4, 2024.
According to the lawyers, Evatex had already started executing its part of the contract and had submitted reports for the attention of GACL.
The company therefore considers the move to terminate the agreement, which is set to take effect from August 27, 2024, as both unreasonable and unacceptable.
Evatex has given GACL a 7-day ultimatum to withdraw the termination letter. The company’s lawyers warned that failure to do so will compel them to take legal action to protect the company’s interests and recover the stated investments.

Turn your attention to the religious bodies – GTEC urged
A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, has called on the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to extend its regulatory work to unaccredited religious leaders and institutions in the country.
Speaking in an interview with Channelone TV, Dr. Boakye-Danquah urged GTEC not to focus its attention on the Deputy Education Minister, but rather turn to the growing number of individuals who parade themselves with unverified academic and religious titles.
He said while Ghana has credible theological institutions such as Trinity Theological Seminary, the Ghana Baptist Seminary, and the Assemblies of God Seminary, many people still assume titles such as “Reverend Doctor,” “Apostle,” or “Professor” without going through accredited training.
“I would want to urge the GTEC to turn their attention to religious bodies… that will sanitize the system in our country,” he said.
Dr. Boakye-Danquah expressed concern that some individuals who previously had no religious background suddenly establish churches and assume high-ranking titles without proper training.
According to him, this trend undermines the integrity of both the academic and religious systems.
He added that enforcing standards in theological education and religious leadership would help create a more credible and well-structured society.

Review feeding allocation for prisoners from GHS1.80 to GHS5 – Human Rights Committee to Mahama
The Human Rights Committee of Parliament has called on President John Dramani Mahama to increase the daily feeding allocation for prisoners from GHS1.80 to at least GHS5.
The Committee, chaired by Kumawu MP Ernest Yaw Anim, said the current amount was inadequate and therefore ought be reviewed to safeguard the rights and dignity of inmates.
It argued that an increment would help the country meet both local and international standards on prison welfare.
The call comes after the Committee commended President Mahama for granting a presidential amnesty to 998 prisoners.
The group described the gesture as a positive step towards advancing human dignity and easing congestion in prisons.
The Committee recalled that it had earlier visited the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons on May 19, 2025, where it urged government to fast-track efforts to improve conditions in correctional facilities nationwide.
According to the Committee, reviewing the feeding allocation alongside the amnesty will help create a fairer and more progressive society.
