Am I The Only Judgement Debtor In This Country? – Woyome Questions
Businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome, who is facing
trial for a GH¢51.2 million judgement debt, says
he feels the country’s highest court, Supreme
Court, is making him a scapegoat.

He has, therefore, appealed to the Chief Justice,
Georgina Theodora Wood, to intervene. “I am
really being persecuted.

I am being oppressed by the apex court in the
land. And it is worrying, very much
worrying….”

Mr Woyome expressed these sentiments on Wednesday,
November 16 in a Facebook Live interview after the
Supreme Court ruled that former Attorney General
and Minister of Justice Martin Alamisi Amidu can
orally examine, on Thursday, November 24. “What
is more alarming about this issue is Marin Alamisi
Amidu understands clearly that Alfred Agbesi
Woyome never sued the court on an inoperative
agreement signed in 2006.

No,” Mr Woyome explained. “He knew that Alfred
Agbesi Woyome sued or went to court on abrogated
tender process that had received approval in
2005.”

He insisted that Mr Amidu “misinformed” the
judges of the Supreme Court and they have been
misled. “This matter was not supposed to be like
this but for certain people.

Am I the only judgement debtor in this country?”
he wondered, adding that others’ will come out
after the loads of work by Sole Commissioner Yaw
Apau. He says he will defend himself with the last
drop of his blood and will challenge Wednesday’s
ruling by Justice Anin Yeboah.

‘Propaganda, lies & vilification’

Mr Woyome has been standing trial since 2011 for
receiving millions of Cedis for an abrogated
contract between the government of Ghana and Astro
Invest, who were contracted then to refurbish two
existing stadia in time for the 2008 Africa Cup of
Nations. “The propaganda, the lies [and] the
vilification on a fellow citizen like yours is too
much.

Five years is enough. If there were any iota of
truth, they should have got it,” the supposed
financier of the ruling party bashed the Court.

He said since the case started he has not been
working though coughing up over GH¢200,000 in
damages to separate rulings ahead of judgement.
“I feel that the Supreme Court is against me.”
