Government has vowed to collect every penny that was wrongly paid to anybody, including businessman, Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
It will also ensure that the state 'purse' is saved to ensure judicious spending and from further borrowing.
The Minister of Communications Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, said this in Accra yesterday, when his ministry took its turn at the Meet-the-Press series.
Flanked by his deputies, Ato Sarpong and Felix Ofosu Kwakye, as well as Presidential Staffer, James Agyenim-Boateng and George Loh, Member of parliament for North Dayi and member often Government communications Team, the Minister said government was determined "to collect a dime wrongfully paid."
He described as unfortunate, the misinterpretation, and twists associated with the Attorney Generals quest to collect the money from Mr. Woyome.
Explaining that "the 51 million was not paid under the guise of President Mahama," he said it was time people appreciated efforts being made by the government to ensure that the money was refunded to the state.
Dr. Boamah said government had also ensured that those implicated in corruption-related cases were investigated, and some put before court to serve as deterrent to others.
He commended the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Mrs. Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, for saving the country colossal amounts of money which would either have gone into the drain, or as cost that could had gone against the stated.
He urged journalists to delve more into issues that would better the lives of the people rather than on Woyome's case.

Don't worry Ghanaians. It doesn't take a gun nor sword, just the thumb. Our ears would be spared of all these R-u-bbish from these young all of sudden billionaires. For 8yrs government has always been making effort. Are they studying the 7 books of Moses law to apply or what? For how long will you pears sword through the hearts of Ghanaians with such inexcusable comments. "More important things" indeed.
Your Minister of Communications Dr. Edward Boamah, will have no difficulty, if his gov loses the election, in finding a well paid job in advertising or public relations. There the art of turning black into white, negative into positive is the rule of the day. Dr Boamah is highly skilled in this business of deceit
"Delve Into Issues That Would Better Lives Rather Than Woyome's Case - Minister Urges Media" I thank God that nowhere in the story was the Minister reported saying exactly as this headline says. Else, I was going to say that that is ABSOLUTE ***barred word*** because the average man on the street need only GHC5,000.00 to improve their economic status. So calculate how many such persons can benefit from the GHC51million and translate their number into votes and see.
Is this Omane Boamah guy sick in the brain. Is he saying issue like this is not important then this guy is a ***barred word***.
which issue should the media delve in? nonnsensee without our money how can we improve our lives
You are sick in the head Omane Boamah

so omane boamah instead of you(governmemt) for the past almost eight fail to retrieve the money from this man you are now coming to tell us different story.So what is the justification that when you are given another four years you will get the money for ghanaians. Also instead of you(government)to rather battle with Mr Amaidu you have diverting all incompetence behavior towards Nana Addo knowing very well that he is innocent, if not for so called political gains you wouldn't have wasted your time telling us this trash stories about drill ship and other issues which are not even in the contest.If this government knows that Nana is involved in such a deal why did't you arrest him in the first place, than you wait about 8 days to election you are now rapping ,you guys can go to USA and join the likes of J-zay and others because to weapon faction against this man will prosper .
