A-G, Finance Ministry Summoned Over Judgment Debt Payment
The Judgment Debt Commission has subpoenaed the
Attorney General's Department and the Ministry of
Finance and Economic Planning to clarify why
Jamlast Company Limited was paid a judgment debt
of $1,800,000 between 2011 and 2012.

Jamlast was said to have sued the Ghana
Consolidated Diamonds (GCD) Limited after the GCD
was divested.

GCD, which is located in Akwatia in the Eastern
Region, is now wholly owned by Ghanaian
businesspersons and operates under the name Great
Consolidated Diamond Ghana Limited (GCDGL).

Payment arrangement
When he appeared before the Commission on
Thursday, the Director in-charge of Internal
Resource Mobilisation of the Ministry of Finance
and Economic Planning, Mr Kwadwo Awuah-Peasah,
said he did not know whether the Attorney
General's Department had defended the State in the
case or not.

He said the official who handled the case had
travelled outside the country, and therefore
prayed the Commission to adjourn the case for that
official to come and testify.

Mr Awuah-Peasah, however, told the Commission that
letters the Ministry of Finance wrote to the
Controller and Accountant General's Department for
the payment of the judgment debt to Jamlast
indicated that the money was paid in two
installments.

The first release letter dated May 13, 2011,
directed the Controller and Accountant General's
Department to release $1 million to Jamlast, while
the second letter dated May 7, 2012, asked for the
release of $800,000 to Jamlast.

Attorney General's Department
Counsel for the Commission, Mr Dometi Kofi
Sorpkor, told the Commission that the Attorney
General's Department could not appear and had
requested the case to be adjourned. The case was
subsequently adjourned to May 12, 2014.
