Gov’t didn’t award GHC35m contract to my company – Woyome
Businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome has described as
unfortunate, allegations by Pressure Group Occupy
Ghana that government has entered into a GHc 35
million contract with one of his companies, Anator
Holding Company Limited.

Occupy Ghana earlier alleged that government had
furtively “entered into a confidential and
potentially lucrative agreement with Mr. Woyome,
acting through one of his companies, Anator
Holding Company Limited.”

The group in a statement noted that Anator Holding
is one of the companies that has filed an
interpleader suit, claiming to be the owner of two
of Woyome’s properties that the Government has
finally managed to attach in the execution of the
GHc 51 million judgment.

But Anator Holding Company Limited has
subsequently issued a statement denying such
claims.

A statement signed by Lawyer for the company,
Justice Nutifafa Doe said “the project which has
taken more than 12 years to incubate is not a
contract from government of Ghana to Anator
Holding Company Limited.”

“We write to correct the rather unfortunate
picture painted by a public enterprise project
which will add final processed value to as much of
our natural resources as possible,offer millions
of job opportunities to Ghanaians and promises to
place Ghana firmly in the centre of the global
comity of prosperous nations,” the statement
added.

The statement further clarified that the project
was only introduced to government in 2009 when the
latter only saw it as a potential Public Private
Partnership (PPP).

“As far back as 2002, Anator Holding company
Limited, has led a team of seasoned local and
intemational Consultants to think through setting
up lndustrialized Green Towns in every district of
our dear country. When after the project was
introduced to the government of Ghana in 2009, the
government saw it as a potential Public Private
Partnership and was willing to accept 24%
stakeholding in it.”
