No live telecast of Woyome-Amidu showdown - CJ
The much anticipated live telecast of the Woyome
– Amidu cross examination in court has been
turned down by the chief justice Georgina Wood.

A private citizen Richard Asante Yeboah petitioned
the CJ to have the showdown beamed live on
national television as it happened in the case of
the 2012 election petition hearing.

However, the chief justice in a reply to the
petitioner said the petition cannot be granted.

“I have been directed by the Honourable Ladyship
Chief Justice to inform you that, regrettably she
is unable to accede to your request for a live
telecast of the above-mentioned case as it is not
the normal practice by the Judiciary,” Justice
Alex B. Poku-Acheampong, Judicial Secretary said
in a reply to Mr. Yeboah.

Mr Yeboah filed the petition after the Supreme
Court gave Mr Amidu the green light to examine Mr
Woyome on the GHS51.2million judgement debt saga.
