MONROVIA — Global Tracking & Maritime Solutions Liberia Inc. has disowned the purported appointments of Presley S. Tenwah and Elvis D. Johnson to senior positions within the company, warning the public against doing business with them in its name and threatening civil and criminal action over what it alleges are unauthorized representations.
GTMS Liberia Inc. said in an Oct. 7 statement that Tenwah’s purported appointment as general manager-Liberia and Johnson’s as public relations executive and operations manager were not authorized by the company.
The company said the appointments were purportedly made by Sahr H. W. Ngegba, who it alleges has presented himself as a director of GTMS Liberia.
GTMS Liberia rejected Ngegba’s claimed authority, saying he is neither associated with the company nor recognized as one of its officers.
According to the company, Ngegba does not appear in its corporate structure, staff register or list of authorized officers, and it has no record of him holding the position of director.
The company consequently warned customers, business partners and the public against treating the purported appointments as legitimate corporate actions.
“Do not transact any business whatsoever with Messrs. Presley S. Tenwah and Elvis D. Johnson in the name of GTMS Liberia Inc.,” the company stated.
GTMS Liberia maintained that because the appointments were allegedly issued by someone it does not recognize as having authority to act on its behalf, any transactions undertaken by Tenwah or Johnson in the company’s name would not be recognized as binding on it.
The disagreement has also taken on a legal dimension.
In an Oct. 6 letter addressed to Johnson in Barnersville, Monrovia, AFDASA Global Consultancy Inc., acting on behalf of GTMS Liberia, formally rejected his purported appointment as public relations executive and operations manager.
The firm said GTMS Liberia informed its legal counsel that Johnson was purportedly appointed by Ngegba, whom the company does not recognize as a director or authorized corporate officer.
AFDASA Global argued that because its client does not recognize Ngegba as having authority to make appointments, his purported appointment of Johnson could not confer authority on Johnson to represent GTMS Liberia.
The firm advised Johnson to immediately desist from any actions, representations or conduct suggesting that he is an official, agent or employee of GTMS Liberia.
It further warned that GTMS Liberia could pursue legal remedies if Johnson continued to represent himself as an official of the company.
GTMS Liberia said it has also instructed its global lead counsel at AFDASA Global to initiate civil and criminal proceedings against Tenwah and Johnson over their alleged representation of themselves as company officials.
The company alleges that such representations could mislead members of the public, interfere with its operations and damage its reputation.
The allegations have not been adjudicated by a court, and the materials provided by GTMS Liberia did not include responses from Tenwah, Johnson or Ngegba.
The controversy also involves competing claims surrounding the corporate identities and relationship of GTMS Liberia Inc. and an entity identified as GTMS-UK.
GTMS Liberia denied that it is a subsidiary of or operates in partnership with GTMS-UK, maintaining that the two are “entirely separate and distinct” entities.
It further alleged that GTMS-UK had been wound up and was undergoing liquidation in the United Kingdom, while accusing unnamed individuals of attempting to use GTMS Liberia’s corporate identity and reputation in connection with the UK entity.
GTMS Liberia’s assertions regarding GTMS-UK were not independently established in the materials provided for this report.
The dispute follows the earlier publicization of Tenwah as general manager-Liberia of GTMS-UK, an appointment that had been presented as part of a leadership arrangement for its Liberia operations.
GTMS Liberia, however, maintains that any position Tenwah may hold with GTMS-UK does not authorize him to act for or represent GTMS Liberia Inc.
The company has urged customers, business partners and members of the public to exercise caution when dealing with individuals claiming to represent it and to verify their authority before conducting transactions.
It specifically warned that transactions carried out by Tenwah or Johnson in the name of GTMS Liberia would not be accepted by its management as binding obligations.
GTMS Liberia said it intends to pursue available legal remedies to protect its corporate name, operations, stakeholders and reputation.
For now, the matter remains a dispute involving competing claims of corporate authority. No court determination establishing criminal liability by Tenwah, Johnson, Ngegba or any other person was cited in the company’s statement.
The named individuals retain the right to respond to the allegations.
