Embattled businessman, Alfred Woyome earlier last
month dared his accusers to publish the list of
persons who have allegedly benefited from the
GHs51.2 million wrongfully paid him by the state.

Addressing a press conference in Accra, Mr Woyome
questioned a supposed list that was making rounds
on social media as being those of persons who
benefited from the money, saying, “I will
continue to fight till the last drop of my
blood.”

The Supreme Court granted former Attorney General
Martin Amidu’s request to orally examine the
businessman in what many believed will eventually
lead to the exposure of those who benefited from
money.
