Businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome has questioned the rationale behind the Supreme Court ruling to allow a former Attorney General to orally examine him in court.

He argued that the Supreme Court cannot grant just one man the permission to orally examine him over the controversial 51 million cedis he claimed to have legitimately received from the government in 2010.

His concerns were raised few hours after the Supreme Court granted an application by Martin Amidu to orally examine him (Alfred Woyome) over his payment of the 51 million cedis.

The judge Justice Enin Yeboah ordered the business man to appear before the court on the 24th of November for the examination.

He further questioned if the Supreme Court will allow the entire Ghanaian population to question him since the issue at hand was of national interest.

"The apex court can never be used to tarnish the image of the citizen," he added.

He indicated that he will petition the Chief Justice over the matter. He further promised to use legal means to quash the ruling giving by the Supreme Court on the matter.

"Why am I saying the Supreme Court is persecuting me? I abide with the review decision of the Supreme Court but I am unable to agree with the decision," Woyome said.

Alfred Woyome has been engaged in a legal tussle with the state since 2012, for receiving 51 million cedis in judgement debts.
