\"\"<\/p>\n

An Accra High Court has dismissed an injunction case brought against the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) by\u00a0BXC Company Limited<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

MiDA disqualified BXC Company Limited which was part of the companies bidding for the privatisation of the Electricity Company of Ghana(ECG).<\/p>\n

BXC was praying the court to order MIDA to stop all forms of discussion and negotiations currently going on with the only remaining company in the ECG Privatization process, that is Meralco Consortium from the Philippines.<\/p>\n

But the court, in a ruling today, dismissed the injunction case.<\/p>\n

The court however granted an injunction to restrain MiDA from drawing on the bid bond.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

MiDA confirmed it was summoned to court by BXC Consortium over the latter\u2019s disqualification from the bidding process to manage the ECG.<\/p>\n

MIDA disqualified BXC Consortium and selected Meralco Consortium, a company led by Manila Electricity Company from the Philippines to manage the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).<\/p>\n

Disqualification<\/strong><\/p>\n

A letter written by MiDA and addressed to BXC Company on April 12, 2018, said the company had been disqualified for failing to make its existing contractual relationship with ECG known in its initial proposals.<\/p>\n

The letter accused BXC Ghana of conflict of interest on the basis of its relationship with ECG \u2013 as a result, the company\u2019s financial proposal was not opened for evaluation and was returned to the company.<\/p>\n

The Coordinator of the BXC consortium in the ECG takeover, Daniel Azu, however, insisted MiDA\u2019s reasons for disqualification were completely flawed and baseless as evidence emerging suggests that it was done to favour Meralco Consortium.<\/p>\n

BXC\u2019s response<\/strong><\/p>\n

BXC in a letter dated April 13, 2018, and addressed to MIDA said: \u201cit had not misled MiDA and had not engaged, and\/or are not aware of any actual or potential conflict of interest in any way whatsoever and or howsoever. We state that we have always informed MIDA about our distribution contracts together with our previous pending contracts with ECG.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe add that by a letter dated 1st March 2018, before the submission of the bid, we informed you of all past and present contracts between BXC Consortium and ECG dating as far back as 2005.<\/p>\n
