VIP Jeoung Transport Company, the country\u2019s largest private transportation firm, has threatened legal actions against road construction firm, Queiroz Galvao.<\/p>\n
This follows the construction company\u2019s decision to construct pavement blocks in front of the VIP station at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.<\/p>\n
Managers of VIP Jeoung Transport Company have therefore asked Messrs Queiroz Galvao Construction Limited to as a matter of urgency stop the on-going construction to avoid legal action.<\/p>\n
The order was contained in a notice to seek redress in court filed by Nana Obiri Boahen of Enso Nyameye Chambers, a legal firm in Sunyani, and made available to the Ghana News Agency (GNA).<\/p>\n
Copies of the notice were addressed to the Ministries of Transport, Justice and Attorney General, Chief of Staff, and the Speaker of Parliament.<\/p>\n
It stated: \u201cNot long ago, a sizeable portion of our client\u2019s terminal was unlawfully taken over and same used to expand the circle \u2013 Kaneshie road in Accra.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore our client could put in demand for the payment of compensation, subtle attempts had been made to block the entire entrance to our client\u2019s bus terminal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The notice also said; \u201cOur instructions hold that, in an attempt to undermine our client\u2019s transport business, an undue and an unfair advantage is being given to the revived State Transport Company, thus the intentional conduct on your part and officialdom to block the entrance to our client\u2019s bus terminal.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBasically, the gravamen of our client\u2019s complaint is that your contracting firm has in recent times been busily constructing pavement blocks in front of the VIP station thus preventing passengers from getting ready access to the VIP terminal.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the notice, such conduct by the construction firm is unarguably adversely affecting the patronage of the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe consider this as not only unfair and improper but also a very dangerous precedent which must be bemoaned.\u201d<\/p>\n
