Businessman, Mr Alfred Agbesi Woyome has missed the arrangement he made with the Attorney General to make a second part payment of GH¢51.2 million he owes the state.
Mr Woyome was expected to refund GH¢5million by April 1, 2017, but Graphic Online reports that its checks show that no payment has been made as of now.
He had earlier in a commitment letter dated October 27, 2016 to the Attorney General and signed by his lawyer, Mr Ken Anku said: “Our client has a clear intention to pay the said judgement debt and that Woyome, as a law-abiding citizen of Ghana, has and is always willing to pay the adjudged sum of money by instalment, given the opportunity, contrary to any perception otherwise.”
Mr Woyome in another letter on November 8, 2016 to the outfit of the then Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Opong, proposed to pay the outstanding sum by quarterly instalments.
He subsequently refunded GH¢4 million which represented part payment of the GH¢51.2 million he owed the state.
Mr Woyome promised to pay the outstanding balance by quarterly instalments of GH¢5 million, beginning April 1, 2017.
But five months on, the second instalment is yet to be paid.
It will be recalled that the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, then headed by Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Opong filed an application at the Supreme Court to request for an oral examination of Woyome.
She, however, did not continue with the application when the first GH¢4 million was paid.
