GHS51m saga: Be truthful – Ackumey to Woyome
Embattled businessman Alfred Woyome should not be
evasive but remain “honest” and
“forthright” during his oral examination by
former Attorney General Martin Amidu, a member of
the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC),
Chris Ackumey, has admonished.

According to him, the issues regarding the
GHS51.2million judgment debt paid to Mr Woyome, of
which the court has ordered a refund, is an
important matter to all Ghanaians so Mr Woyome
should be truthful and never hide any information
during the examination.

“I will pray that there should be cooperation
between Amidu and Woyome because it affects Ghana
and it is Ghana which is at stake,” the private
legal practitioner urged on Citi FM’s The Big
Issue on Saturday, November 19.

The Supreme Court granted permission to Mr Amidu
to orally examined Mr Woyome in the GHS51.2
million judgment debt paid to the latter.

This action followed a move by the Attorney
General to discontinue an initial oral examination
of Mr Woyome, which Mr Amidu was not enthused
about. He also indicated that President Mahama
should be voted out of office because of his lack
of commitment to fight corruption.

The apex court said both parties should reappear
in court on 24th November. Mr Amidu filed an
application to examine Mr Woyome about two weeks
ago.

Ahead of that legal battle, Mr Ackumey is sounding
a note of caution to the businessman and has
advised him to make all the information available
to put the matter to rest.

“I will pray that Woyome should be forthright in
giving answers to which Martin will be putting up
to him. He must be very honest to the court. He
must not hide any information so that those
listening can determine if he has been a truthful
person in the box,” he emphasised.
