Stephen Komla Adom, the founder of Dominion Paint Manufacturing Industries Limited (DOPAMI), has called on the government to establish an independent committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the takeover of his company. The joint venture, originally formed with Quick Angels Limited (QAL), has turned contentious.
Adom, during a press briefing in Accra, expressed his frustration after numerous appeals to the Inspector General of Police, the Economic and Organized Crime Office, and the Attorney General’s Office yielded no response. He detailed his grievances, alleging that QAL committed fraudulent acts to seize control of DOPAMI.
Originally, DOPAMI aimed to become a leader in the paint industry, offering high-quality products. The partnership with QAL, known for nurturing small and medium-sized enterprises, seemed promising at the outset. However, Adom claims that the relationship soured, leading to a legal battle that resulted in him losing control of the business.
Adom accused QAL of fabricating charges that led to a lawsuit initiated in December 2021. The accusations included allegations that Adom had forcibly locked the factory, impeding operations—a claim he insists is unfounded.
Since December 2021, QAL has reportedly maintained control over the factory, with key figures such as Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Raj Saibu Tamanjah managing operations. Adom claims the police have failed to address these issues, allowing QAL to benefit from the factory.
Adom continues to seek justice, emphasizing the need for accountability and the restoration of his business rights.
