'Damn Big Liar'...Come Out Of Whatever Hole You're Hiding In! - Omane Boamah Dar
Minister of Communications, Dr Edward Omane Boamah
has accused former Attorney-General Martin Amidu
of committing perjury as far as Woyome saga is
concerned.

The affable Dr. Omane Boamah went riot on
MultiTV/Joy FM’s news analysis programme,
Newsfile, describing the former A-G as a
“liar,” and demanding that Joy FM "puts him on
the line" for him (Omane) to address him.

The Citizen Vigilante, as the former Attorney
General is affectionately called, has been very
instrumental in the state’s case against
businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome in the
controversial GHC51.2million judgement debt
payment.

The state is currently pursuing Woyome for
repayment.

Contributing to Saturday's programme, Dr. Omane
Boamah listed a number of claims Mr. Amidu made in
court and his public treatise, describing them as
“lies”.

According to Omane Boamah, Martin Amidu among
others, also lied when he claimed the Attorney
General’s firm was on the side of Mr. Woyome
when in fact the firm was rather against Woyome.

“Martin Amidu has told lies to the Supreme Court
of Ghana…he told a big lie and he is a damn big
liar,” he screamed.

Citing three instances he believed Mr Amidu "told
a big lie" and thus "is a damn big liar", the
Communications Minister alluded to the Citizen
Vigilante's claims that the current Attorney
General Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Opong’s firm,
Lithur-Brew and Co represented Austro-Invest, a
company he claimed benefited from the
GHC51.2million wrongly paid to Woyome.

He also mentioned cases such as Alfred Agbesi
Woyome vrs Raymond Archer (a journalist), and
Raymond Smith (Ray Smith) a shareholder of
Austro-Invest and Managing Director of M-pawapak
Ltd vrs Alfred Agbesi Woyome.

Dr. Omane Boamah insisted that in all these cases,
Mr. Amidu lied when he claimed the Attorney
General’s firm was on the side of Mr. Woyome
when in fact the firm was rather against Woyome.

It was based on these that the Minister in a fit
of rage projected the former Attorney General that
“he is a damn big liar”.

“Get Martin Amidu to speak to his lies,” Dr.
Omane Boamah demanded, pestering the show's host
to call Martin Amidu into the show, but the host
will not budge.

"Come out of whatever hole you're hiding in," he
dared Mr Amidu.
