This is according to President John Mahama.
The president said this on a day when the Supreme Court had given a former Attorney General Martin Amidu the go ahead to orally examine embattled businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome. This is despite a plea from the AG not to question Woyome on the repayment of the 51 million judgement debt given him.

But President Mahama said “the Attorney General has done a phenomenal job if you look at the amount of money she’s saved us from judgement debts, that lady deserves a national honour.”
The president was speaking on the GBC Evening Encounter with presidential candidates.
The Attorney General Marrieta Appiah-Oppong earlier indicated that she will cross-examine Alfred Woyome and demand the repayment of the 51 million. But she later decided against it filing a case at the Supreme Court to discontinue her case against the business man. This raised concerns among Ghanaians over government's preparedness to have the money retrieved.

But the president said he was not worried about the ruling given in favour of Amidu. He explained that the AG decided to discontinue the case because they had reached a favourable settlement plan with Woyome.
