Be truthful during oral examination – Ackumey to Woyome

Embattled businessman Alfred Woyome should not be evasive but remain “honest” and “forthright” during his oral examination by former Attorney General Martin Amidu, a member of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chris Ackumey, has admonished.

According to him, the issues regarding the GHS51.2million judgment debt paid to Mr Woyome, of which the court has ordered a refund, is an important matter to all Ghanaians so Mr Woyome should be truthful and never hide any information during the examination.

“I will pray that there should be cooperation between Amidu and Woyome because it affects Ghana and it is Ghana which is at stake,” the private legal practitioner urged on Citi FM’s The Big Issue on Saturday, November 19.

The Supreme Court granted permission to Mr Amidu to orally examined Mr Woyome in the GHS51.2 million judgment debt paid to the latter.

This action followed a move by the Attorney General to discontinue an initial oral examination of Mr Woyome, which Mr Amidu was not enthused about. He also indicated that President Mahama should be voted out of office because of his lack of commitment to fight corruption.

The apex court said both parties should reappear in court on 24th November. Mr Amidu filed an application to examine Mr Woyome about two weeks ago.

Ahead of that legal battle, Mr Ackumey is sounding a note of caution to the businessman and has advised him to make all the information available to put the matter to rest.

“I will pray that Woyome should be forthright in giving answers to which Martin will be putting up to him. He must be very honest to the court. He must not hide any information so that those listening can determine if he has been a truthful person in the box,” he emphasised.
