The Cheaitou Brothers Incorporated (CBI), has categorically denied media reports of outstanding obligations to one of its suppliers, MS Global, an export supplier based in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
CBI condemns the media houses for carrying such story without reaching out to Cheaitou Brothers. Though the issue was raised from the court, Cheaitou Brothers denies owing supplier any money for goods imported.
“We are a reputable Liberian company of over 30 years of providing frozen food products throughout the country,” CBI said in a press statement issued on Wednesday, October 15.
Over the years, the company said, it has continued to import the best quality meat and fish for the Liberian market from very “reputable companies around the world as it contributes to the Liberian economy.”
“We hired over 100 employees, and considers the spread of the totally erroneous, and misleading news report as a dangerous calculated plan to damage our brand; that it will have serious consequences before the law.”
CBI said, the alleged court papers being quoted by the media house, “are erroneous as the Cheaitou Brothers imports only frozen chicken, meat, fish, and other frozen food, which the company distributed throughout the country through its depots in Monrovia and its environs. Other points of sale are in Margibi, Bassa, Bong and Nimba counties, and at the same time, provides job opportunities for Liberians nationwide.
“With suppliers in Brazil, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, the Cheaitou Brothers said, it has continued to provide very high-quality frozen food products for the Liberian market for over 30 years, and that the misleading news reports cannot tarnish its hard-earned reputation as one of Liberia’s best local based companies.”
On the other hand, the Management says it is aware that a sisterly company, Blue Lake Manufacturing, has instituted legal actions against the MS Global concerning a container of eggs that was extensively damaged en-route to Liberia in June 2025; the Blue Lake is demanding damages of over US$1 million from the MS Global for “breach of contract, and for specific performance as its supply did not meet human consumption, and caused huge loss of business revenue for Blue Lake that is a local producer of mayonnaise.”
Cheaitou Brothers is shocked that even though MS Global and its lawyers, the Justice Advocate law firm, have court documents served on them by the Sixth Judicial Civil Law Court on for damages from rotten eggs it exported to the Blue Lake from Ukraine, and that the same law firm, has filed papers before the same court in the defense of MS Global, the same law firm proceeded to file another lawsuit, while that is pending solely for the purpose of spreading “misinformation injurious to Cheaitou Brothers.”
“The Cheaitou Brothers are deeply concerned that a reputable law firm such as Justice Advocate that is headed by a lawyer with the distinction of ‘Senior Counsel of Liberia,’ the highest professional merit in the practice of law, will file a totally misleading papers in the Commercial Court weeks after it has been served court documents by the bailiffs of the Civil Law Court on a lawsuit of over a million united states dollars against their client, the MS Global to which case it has filed returns to the same Civil Law Court on the same facts.”
“Prior to the filing of the case by Blue Lake dispute, were two conferences called by Justice Advocate, which were hosted at its offices where lawyers representing Blue Lake discussed with the Justice Advocate Firm team, but when the conference could not resolve the dispute Blue Lake went to court. Thus, MS Global through the Justice Advocate Firm has joined issues with Blue Lake on the very same matter, but in a legal oddity the same law firm has used the same facts in the Blue Lake case to which it has filed returns to file another case against the CBI at another court; this time at the Commercial Court. And all the pertinent export documents the firm attached concerning the transactions listed Blue Lake as the consignee, that is the importer of the goods.
Meanwhile, the CBI has demanded a retraction of those stories.
The Correct Version
According to CBI, the publication of these clarifications as the basis of any publication is the truth; “the truth is that the MS Global has been sued before the Civil Law Court by the Blue Lake Manufacturing for damages for breach of contract for exporting a container of rotten eggs to the Blue Lake weeks before its lawyers, who filed their returns went to the Commercial Court with the same facts against Cheaitou Brothers.”
The Cheaitou Brothers wishes to inform the general public, and its consumers that she does not owe MS Global anything as it is always regular and current with payments to all its suppliers across the world; further it will take steps to protect its brand name, which has been injured by these publications.
