View Attached Letters Here >> Little drops of water, they say, make a mighty ocean and when Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin North Constituency started what seemed a weird campaign against Alfred Woyome for allegedly receiving a judgment debt of about GH�42m, many were those who thought the campaign would not last; but, today, with Woyome firing on all cylinders in defence of his court action and receipt of some amount of money, the Pandora�s box has been opened. A major cause of the ongoing brouhaha which has received massive media blitz is whether indeed the then New Patriotic Party led-government had a contract or contracts with Alfred Woyome or Waterville Holdings (BVI) Ltd, whether they were legally abrogated and what might have triggered such an action. According to a letter in possession of �The New Crusading Guide�, there were signed contracts between the Government of Ghana and Waterville Holdings (BVI) Ltd but they were premised on certain conditions to be fulfilled which the latter could not meet. However, the Government had no contract with Alfred Woyome. According to the letter, Waterville was to engineer the funding for the Project and since they could not make that requirement, the contracts were cancelled. One of the conditions, according to the letter dated August 1, 2006 was that �It was understood by the reference to Clause 17 that the signing of the Contracts did not bring them into effect�. Clause 17 of the Contracts stated among others that �This contract shall become effective at the date of the fulfillment of all of the following conditions�, which included signing of the contract by all parties, signing of the loan agreement relating to the contract by the Minister for Finance and Economic Planning, Etc.
