Kenpong Travel and Tour has firmly rejected reports of a purported petition filed at the Accra High Court seeking its liquidation, stating that it remains entirely unaware of any such application by First Atlantic Bank.
In a statement issued by its legal counsel, the company described the alleged petition as a “pathetic professional misjudgment,” emphasising that it had received no formal notification whatsoever.
The lawyers provided a detailed account of the ongoing legal proceedings, noting that Kenpong Travel and Tour is actively challenging a High Court summary judgment delivered against it in August 2022.
“It is a fact that on the 15th day of August 2022, the First Atlantic Bank secured a summary judgment against Kenpong Travel and Tours Ltd & Others. The First Atlantic Bank prides itself that Kenpong Travel and Tours owes it the sum of GHS2.5m, on the basis of the said judgment.
On the 27th day of September 2022, Kenpong Travel and Tours Ltd lodged an appeal to the Court of Appeal challenging the propriety of the judgment and by extension the quantum of money as adjudged by the High Court. On the 13th day of April 2026, the Record of Appeal was fully compiled and Form 6 was issued.
On 13th May 2026, Samuel Atta Akyea of Zoe, Akyea & Co., filed the Written Submission for the Appellants. On the 3rd day of June 2026, Kwame Boafo-Akuffo, Esq of Kwame Akuffo & Co, filed the Respondent’s answer to our Written Submission. On the 18th day of June 2026, we delivered our Reply. The Court of Appeal is yet to hear the appeal,” the statement read.
Kenpong Travel and Tour further condemned what it described as a deliberate smear campaign orchestrated by the lawyers of First Atlantic Bank, accusing them of acting in bad faith.
“In the premises, it is a pathetic professional misjudgment for anybody to file a winding-up application, when the fate of the so-called debt is yet to be determined by the Court of Appeal.”
The company’s legal team also revealed that it has initiated separate proceedings against First Atlantic Bank and the Bank of Ghana, following the bank’s failure to provide certain disclosures regarding Kenpong’s statement of account.
“Kenpong Travel and Tours Ltd is seeking a declaration that First Atlantic Bank is in continuing breach of Section 58 of the Borrowers and Lenders Act, 2020 (Act 1052), which places a statutory obligation on a bank to release a customer’s bank statement to it not later than five (5) days after the request. Only God knows why a bank should be dragged to Court to fulfil a mundane chore of delivering a customer’s bank statement to it.
“The 2nd Defendant in this case is the Bank of Ghana who has failed in its supervisory role and is given impunity to the obtuse behaviour of First Atlantic Bank Ltd,” the statement added.
Kenpong’s lawyers further indicated that they are considering legal action against First Atlantic Bank and its counsel over the publication of the alleged winding-up petition.
“Our Client will certainly weigh its options and seek the appropriate reliefs in Court by reason of this malicious publication founded on the still-born winding-up petition.”
