The President John Mahama-led government is committed to retrieving the controversial GHc51 million judgment debt unlawfully paid to embattled businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
This according to the Minister of Communications, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah is because the NDC government has a better record in retrieving illegal monies including Mr. Woyome’s.
Currently, former Attorney General, Martin Amidu is hoping to orally examine Mr. Woyome at the Supreme Court to determine how he plans to pay back the money because according to Amidu, government does not want the money retrieved.
Mr Amidu had accused government of deliberately preventing him from pursuing Woyome but Dr Omane Boamah at the Meet the Press session on Monday assured that government will not relent its efforts to retrieve the money.
“President Mahama’s unwavering to retrieving every pesewa paid illegally to any individual including Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome, entities or countries continue unabated.
President Mahama has demonstrated the will to protect the public purse and this finds expression in the over one billion dollar saving achieved just because the Attorney General’s department adhered to his publicly known that they should defend such cases and indeed has been defending them,” he added.
Omane Boamah also hinted that government has saved the state from incurring close to one billion dollars in judgment debt payments.
“President Mahama’s government has fought cases of judgment debts and potential judgment debts more vigorously than previous governments.
In less than four years we have successfully defended and saved Ghana over one billion dollars and these include cases involving Balkan Energy Ghana Limited, Sweater and Source, China Jinlin among others. In tackling the problem head on, President Mahama set up the sole commission of inquiry to investigate payments from public funds arising from judgment debts.”

tweaaakai! since when?
The president and his ministers are part of the ***barred word*** brigade and they took part in the ***barred word***. How can they retrieve the money from Woryorme? They have even recently given him another contract for GHS35million quietly hoping that Ghanaians would never be hear about it. Unfortunately it was found out by Occupy Ghana. This is man that the AG has dragged to court and described as a fraud. How on earth could the same government give Woryorme this new contract? Of course the money given to Woryorme, Waterville, Isofoton, African Automobile, CP, etc. are all very important to Ghanaians. How can we drill boreholes for GHS60,000 each in this same country where others can do it for GHS10,000? The fact is that so long as John Mahama and NDC remain in power, all those monies will never be retrieved. Kick Mahama out of power.
NDC thinks everybody in this country doesnt think like the way they dont think. NDC has given Woyome a contract to enable him pay back his loot from the coffers of government. This is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Or better still it is like a chess game. NDC helped Woyome to steal money and when Woyome was caught beyond every doubt, NDC has again awarded him, Woyome, contract so that he can use the contract money to pay government back. NDC thinks Ghanaians are kids who do not think. The only thing to do now as responsible Ghanaians is to vote out the corrupt NDC from power as well articulated by Hon. Martin Amidu. VOTE OUT NDC NOW BEFORE WE ARE SWALLOWED BY HIGH PLACE CORRUPTION.
Sorry Govt, Too little too late
FOR 8YEARS THE NDC COULD NOT TAKE THE MONEY WRONGLY PAID TO THEIR MEMBERS....IS A WEEK TO ELECTION AND THEY ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT GETTING OUR MONEY BACK...THEY SHOULD GO AND SLEEP NANA ADDO WILL COME AND TAKE OUR MONEY BACK FOR US...WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THIS THIEFSSSSS. CHANGE IS COMING..IF U KNOW THAT U HAVE NOT COMMITTED ANY CRIME WHY ARE U PANICKING...IS ONLY A CRIMINAL WHO FEAR SEEING THE POLICE MAN.
Let the looter government go and tell this to Martin Amidu. The Looter (NDC government led by John Mahama) and the Lotee (Wayome) are in a cosy relationship to decieve ghanaians for their votes. I tell if the NDC losses the election, many NDC functionaries will suffer heart failure. They will be walking whilst they are dead. Heheheheheheheheheheheheheh, judgement day cometh with kidney and heart failure for the NDC looters.
Apuuuuuu Torrrrrrrr Nonsence
MISCHIEF AND TREACHERY WILL ALWAYS BE THE HALLMARK OF CITIFM.... AND IF THAT WILL BE THE PRIME SOURCE OF PEACE NEWS,,, THEN IT CONFIRMS THE CLAIMS.... PEACE IS NOT NEUTRAL,, AS MOST OF ITS REPORTAGE ARE SKEWED TO FAVOR A PRO NPP AGENDA. LISTENING TO THE SOUND BITES, AND READING THE TRANSCRIPT,, DOES NOT SUGGEST ANYTHING NEAR THIS HEAD LINE.... THE STORY ITSELF HAD BEEN WICKEDLY CONCOCTED TO MATCH THE HEAD LINE,, BUT IT DID NOT MEET TYE EXPECTATION.
LIARS. FOR THE WHERE? WHY DON'T YOU RETRIEVE WHAT HE HAS STOLEN FROM US BEFORE THINKING ABOUT ENGAGING HIM IN ANOTHER CONTRACT? YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU CAN ***barred word*** GHANAIANS ALL THE TIME. ***barred word***! YOUR TIME IS UP; WE WILL RETRIEVE EVERY CEDI BY OURSELVES STARTING FROM DEC 7.
