Woyome confirms giving money to Anyidoho, others
Businessman Alfred Woyome has confirmed claims by
the opposition New Patriotic Party that he gave
monies to some key members of the NDC after he was
paid the controversial judgment debt by government
in 2010.

The NPP's communications director Nana Akomea at a
press conference alleged that the embattled
businessman was very generous to leading figures
of the ruling family including its general
secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia and former
presidential spokesperson Koku Anyidoho after he
received the huge payment from the state.

In a counter statement on the issue, Mr Woyome
admitted giving monies to some officials of the
NDC but added that his financial support for the
party predates the payment of the judgment debt to
him.

"The support increased before 2008 and beyond.

Steve Kpordzi was repaid monies he lent to Mr
Woyome personally.
Koku Anyidoho was supposed to refund a debt of
printed party T-Shirts that Mr Woyome promised to
refund on behalf of the Party," the statment
said.

He however revealed that his office has been
burgled in recent times and items stolen include
the information which has been put in the public
domain by the NPP.

Below are details of the statement


The office of Mr Woyome was broken into three
times.

Computers, documents etc were taken away.

The case has been with the Legon Police ever
since.

Juju was planted and sprinkled on the compound of
the office.

The police have all the records.

Akomea now says he got some documents from Mr
Woyome's office?

Some of those documents include the cheque stubs
he is displaying.

Mr Woyome has been supporting the NDC heavily
since 2001.

The support increased before 2008 and beyond.

Steve Kpordzi was repaid monies he lent to Mr
Woyome personally.

Koku Anyidoho was supposed to refund a debt of
printed party T-Shirts that Mr Woyome promised to
refund on behalf of the Party.

Business men also pay for NPP electioneering
materials.

Don't they.

Mr. Woyome did all these for his party without
expectations.

Mr. Woyome and his companies have never borrowed
from the ADB.

All monies paid to Mr Woyome was paid legally as a
result of a court order.

How Mr. Woyome spend his money is his own
business, private and personal to him.

It has never happened in the history of Ghana or
anywhere else where a private individual's
personal life is abused in such a proportion
blatantly.

Mr. Woyome will test the law.

The Court of Appeal found NPP cabinet culpable and
the cause of the Judgement debt.

What is worrying is that EOCO headed by Akpadzi
Mortey, The AG Department personified by Martin
Amidu, National Security headed by Gbevlo Lartey
used the EOCO law and obtained all of Mr. Woyome's
bank transactions Countrywide and through Martin
Amidu handed it over to the NPP to create the
impression to Ghanaians and the whole wide world
as though something has been wrongfully done.

Mr. Woyome is not a GoG official, he is not the
Court, he is also not an armed rubber.

Never in the history of civilise Nations has the
Judgement of a Court of competent Jurisdiction
basterdised and criminalised.

Yesterday, Dr Bawumia and his wife also mislead
the whole world on an NPP final Rally platform in
the tradefair center by insulting and maligning Mr
Woyome and his entire family.

Dr Bawumia was in the Bank of Ghana and worked
with the research department that tested and
passed the documentary Financial Document , termed
the letter of Support, that was ascertained by
Central Tender Review Board through a concurrent
approval.

The NPP knows that this singular case will lead to
the arrest of over 30 members of their Cabinet
including Akomea, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo,
etc.

They actually pre meditated the crime as evidenced
by the famous cabinet memo authored by Yaw Osarfo
Marfo who testified in court and is on record to
blame it on the rest of the cabinet members.

The Court of Appeals of the Republic of Ghana has
clearly said Mr. Woyome was rightly paid while the
Supreme Court says it was unconstitutional.

The International Courts and Tribunals are yet to
come out with their decisions.

How then did Mr. Woyome loot?

We call on the AG to as a matter of fairness and
the respect for the rule of Law pursue the issue
of the criminal cabinet memo now without any
further delay.

President John Mahama has nothing to do with this
case as a Vice President nor as a President.

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has a lot to do with
it through the Akosombo cabinet meeting and
subsequent decisions which included the illegal
Chinese deals and the Barclays 100 million dollar
loan.

The people in the NDC who were bent on covering
Akomea and Co Cabinet and and tried to perscute me
for the NPP thereby creating all these situations
should be ashamed of themselves by now.

Mr. Woyome never said any where that he was going
to expose anybody.

How?

This is also one of the usual NPP concocted lies.

Alfred Woyome's lawyers and the Police are working
on the case.

A cold case in the police station concerning the
breaking into Mr. Woyome's office has become hot.
