Don’t do capital market transaction with CHY – GIPC warns public

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre has commenced investigations into the activities of embattled Chinese firm, CHY CENTURY HENG YENG GROUP LIMITED.

A statement issued by the GIPC said it’s an offence for the Chinese firm to undertake activities in the capital market.

“For the avoidance of doubt, it must be noted that the GIPC Act 2013 (Act 865) under section 24 (1) mandates the GIPC to register all enterprises with foreign participation in Ghana. However, section 1(2) of Act 865, in relation to the registration of enterprises does not restrict compliance with the requirements of any other enactment. Consequently, allegations that CHY CENTURY HENG YENG GROUP LIMITED is engaged in various activities including Capital Market activities which are outside its registered objects at the GIPC, amounts to an offence under section 40 of the GIPC Act 2013(Act 865),” GIPC said in its statement.

The Center also said CHY’s partners, SAIRUI E-COMMERCE GHANA LIMITED is not registered by the Center to operate, and as such, there is no record of activities by this particular enterprise.
