Alfred Woyome (L), Martin Amidu

Martin Amidu to grill Woyome in court on Nov. 24
The Supreme court presided over by Justice Annim
Yeboah has granted an application by Martin Amidu
to allow him to examine Alfred Woyome orally over
how he spent the controversial GHS 51 million paid
to him as judgment debt.

According to the judge, Martin Amidu has the locus
to examine Woyome because it’s been 2 years
since the court ordered Attorney General to
retrieve the money but to no avail hence Mr Amidu
has the right to ensure prosecution.

Kasapa FM’s Court Correspondent, Daakyehene
Ofosu Agyeman reported that the sole judge in the
case adjourned the case to Nov 24 for Woyome to
appear at the Supreme court for Martin Amidu to
orally examine him.woyome
Mr. Woyome recently refunded GH¢4 million to
state coffers, representing part payment of the
GH¢51.2 million he owes the state.

The businessman through his lawyers, promised to
pay the outstanding balance by quarterly
installments of GH¢5 million, starting April 1,
2017.

Mr. Amidu in a statement before his lawsuit said
“…the Attorney General’s latest application
to discontinue the government’s application to
examine its financier, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, is
one more such trick to deceive the public and
obstruct the course of justice.”

Meanwhile the AG’s notice served at the Supreme
Court to withdraw from pursuing the matter said:
“Please take notice that the 1st Defendant
Judgment Creditor [Attorney General] herein has
this day [26th day of October 2016] discontinued
the present application to orally examine the 3rd
defendant Judgment Debtor [Alfred Agbesi Woyome]
with liberty to reapply.”
