Once again we have evidence of an African country attempting to deny the legitimacy of a valid contract (see page one below), signed by an authorised official, for a stamp dealer to produce stamps on behalf of the country.

Why is it impossible for them to understand that a contract is not just a piece of paper? It is a committment by two parties to do certain things as specified in the contract. As long as the terms of the contract are met there is no legal way to refute the contract. You cannot just say that it no longer exists!

The response to this action by the dealer was for the authorities to bring an action on their own court against the dealer (see pages 2, 3 and 4), without notifying him, for insulting the current official, as if this, in some way, made a difference to the status of the contract.

The reason given for not notifying him of this action was that they did not have the address! This is so unlikely as to be bizarre. The former Director General had visited the dealer in his home and accompanied him on visits to his bank. The idea that such a close relationship would have resulted in the address of the dealer not being recorded anywhere in official records is ludicrous.
