AG to orally examine Woyome on June 29

The Attorney General’s office has begun steps to orally examine businessman, Alfred Woyome, in the controversial GHc 51 million judgment debt saga.According to documents sighted by Accra-based Citi FM, an ex-parte motion to examine Mr. Woyome was filed on June 2, 2017.Mr Woyome will, therefore, be required to appear before the court on June 29, 2017 for the examination.A separate document also indicated that, a charge has been placed on the property of Mr. Woyome, as sought by the Attorney General’s office.The companies affected by the charge included Anator Holding Company Limited,AAW Management Consulting Services, Anator Construction Company Limited, Green Township Security Services Company Limited, Woyome Brothers International Limited, Stewise Anator Company limited and Stewise Shipping Compan Limited.The Supreme Court ordered Mr Woyome to refund GHS51.2 million to the state.The court stated that Mr Woyome got the money out of an invalid contract between the state and Waterville Holdings Limited in 2006 for the construction of stadia for CAN 2008.But the outgone National Democratic Congress (NDC) government was not able to retrieve the money from the businessman before leaving office.Woyome has, however, refunded GH¢4 million to state coffers, representing part payment of the GH¢51.2 million he owes the state.He is to pay Gh¢5million every four months in instalment until the final payment is made on April 1, 2019.However, Mr Woyome, who is dissatisfied with the ruling by the Supreme Court, has resorted to two international bodies, the ICC and African Court of Justice, to determine the matter.
