Supreme Court sets July 4 to rule on Woyome's attempt to stop oral examination
The oral examination would border on whether Mr Woyome owed the state any debt and whether he had “any property for satisfying the judgement of this court, dated July 29, 2014’’.

The court presided over by a single judge, Mr Justice A.A Benin, fixed the date today [Thursday, June 29, 2017] after a series of submissions by Woyome’s lawyers and lawyers for the state.
The oral examination would also be based on whether the businessman “has any means of satisfying the judgement of this court, dated July 29, 2014’’ and the manner in which he “used the money paid to him by the Republic of Ghana’’.

But Mr Woyome has filed a review of the decision of the court for the state to orally examine him.
At the Supreme Court’s hearing today [Thursday], Woyome's lawyer, Mr Ken Anku , prayed the court to temporary halt the oral examination pending the review.
He based his argument on Article 134(b) of the 1992 Constitution which allows a review of the decision of a single judge of the Supreme Court by three other justices of the court.
But the Deputy Attorney, Mr Godfred Dame, in a response argued that the application was a ploy by Woyome to delay execution of the court's order.
He said that Woyome had failed to indicate if he will suffer any hardship or damage if the oral examination proceeds.
