Supreme Court puts on hold Amidu's oral examination against Woyome

Former Attorney General, Martin Amidu, may not get the opportunity to orally examine embattled businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome in the GHc 51 million judgement debt saga as the Supreme Court granted a request by Woyome.

The Court granted a request for the postponement of the anticipated oral examination by Martin Amidu.

The oral examination was expected to take place on Thursday, November 24.

Justice Enin Yeboah ruled that Martin Amidu orally examines the man at the centre of the controversial GHC 51 million judgement debt saga.

However, one of the applications is praying the Supreme Court to review the ruling of the court given a week ago.

On Thursday, December 1, Justice Anin Yeboah said he was obliged to stay the oral examination of Mr Woyome by Amidu therefore it was important for the proceedings to be put on hold since the review case may have a substantial impact on the pending oral examination.

The Supreme Court, however, adjourned the case to December 15, 2016 for hearing on the review case.
