Attorney General received $1 million of my judgement debt - Woyome

Businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome, who was just acquitted and discharged in a 51 million cedis judgment debt scandal, has asked the Attorney General to resign.

The National Democratic Congress financier has revealed that the Attorney General, Mrs Marrieta Bre-Oppong, is biased and unfit to be the Chief legal advisor of the president

Mr. Woyome made the disclosure in a statement, Monday, a move to provoke another scandal.

Woyome claimed in the statement cited by Myjoyonline that prior to becoming the Attorney General, Mrs Marietta Brew-Oppong and her firm benefitted from the 51million cedis judgment debt he was paid in 2010.

"I find it difficult to reconcile your decision to involve yourself directly in this criminal case and notice of appeal you have authorised to be issued and served on me.

"It is a fact that you and clients received approximately $1 million equivalent in Ghana cedis from the said judgement debt  you now so much criminalise and want me jailed for," he said in a statement.

The statement confirms claims by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, who said that the State deliberately presented a weak case because the Attorney General is a former lawyer to Mr. Woyome, and therefore was a beneficiary of the Gh¢51.2 million judgment debt.

The NPP 'fireman' has also said that former Attorney General Madam Betty Mould Iddrisu will be prosecuted when the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) leaves office.
