AG dragging me to court wrong - Woyome

The Supreme Court on Monday began hearing the oral examination of businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome regarding the GHS51.2million paid to him by the state in 2010.

Businessman, Alfred Woyome has described as erroneous the move by the Attorney General to drag him to the Supreme Court to orally examine him on the GHc 51 million paid to him as judgment debt.

Mr. Woyome told the Supreme court at the oral examination on Monday that he had a payment plan with the AG of which he was adhering to and hence was surprised that the AG took the action to court.

Alfred Woyome was earlier seeking to stop the Attorney General from orally examining him in connection with attempts by the state to retrieve GHS51.2million from him.

But the Supreme Court dismissed the application, saying that it had no basis.

The oral examination is bordering 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 oral examination is also 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’’.

Meanwhile, Mr. Woyome has told the court that he has not been in business for five years now due to the numerous suits brought against him by the state in respect to the judgment debt.
