AUTHOR : SULE******
.............It seems the NDC gov't is running against time to send Ghana into the pits and it is extremely worrying, very, very worrying that, such a magnitude of ineptness, incompetence, recklessness and corruption can be brought to bear on our governance structures in such a crass manner. This Fortiz/Merchant bank deal deal from all indications is putrid, it stinks to the high heavens and nothing can justify such an atrocious deal, when Ghanaian taxpayers, from all indications are not getting any VALUE FOR MONEY in this stinking deal. Omane Boamah, MD should seek to explain why an equity firm which cannot even boast of the asset base to even acquire a non-financial banking license, should be made to take on this onerous task of not even a merger, but a full complete acquisition of Merchant bank, when Ghanaian taxpayers, have been offered far, far better VALUE FOR MONEY propositions from identifiable bodies with a portfolio of assets eclipsing over 100 billion dollars? It is indeed mindboggling the level of impunity and recklessness which has been unleashed on the affairs on governance by this NDC gov't. Ghana indeed deserves better than this recklessness which is permeating all facets of governance in this country. It's awfully pathetic.

KB, you are absolutely right that the case is deception. The state prosecution is deliberately aiming to lose the case so that Woyome and NDC can enjoy their booty. Can you believe that the major players in the case such as Mrs Betty Mould Iddrisu, the then Minister for Justice and Attorney who approved the payment, the Mr Neequaye, the State Attorney who recommended the payment and his wife was paid GHC400,000 by Woyome as well as Mr Martin Amidu who instituted the action for the refund were never called as witnesses by the state?

The trial is just a cover up to let Woyome get away with murder but they will fail. This case should have been discontinued once the Supreme Court ruled on the payments to Woyome's partners as "create, loot and share". I just cannot see how a Hight Court can let Woyome go free when the highest court of the land has ruled that the others who received similar payments should refund the money to the state. That would be a legal or judicial absurdity.

Woyome's legal team know perfectly well that their client has no defence so they went in for no case but they made a very sad mistake. It also shows the class of lawyers they are. Now they have to prove to the court that Woyome had a contract with the state and the Supreme Court erred. This can only happen in lawless and indisciplined Ghana with some farce democracy, when the President and his government simply refuse to comply with Supreme Court judgement and nothing happens, when in a true democracy the President would have been impeached.

gbevlo was a gentleman with skills not suited for such an office. he was an ideal choice under knowledgeable mills but with brainless selfish mahama totally incompatible. the security of the land has so deteriorated in just less a few years to his none action in upholding the law . due to his misplaced loyalty he has allowed together with the bni chief yaw donkor the corruption to thrive and now its blown out of control. in protecting the constitution and upholding the rule of law we would have been assured of peace now we can only prepare for war and bloody civil uprising . everywhere you go from armed robbers in the street to universities people are already taking the law into their own hands and doing as they please without fear of the long arm of justice . ndc has forever destroyed the unity of the nation with their anti Akan agenda and the northern and ewe tribalism based on hatred . the facts are there only a fool will live in hope that this situation can be fixed with a reshuffle or a change of govt with or without elections . its over so prepare for the worst. the negative selection and caliber of the ministers is so poor they will not be able to face up to the challenges and things will surely fall apart

Patriot, you assume the judge erred but you may also be wrong (though it is possible). Judges rule base on evidence presented to them. Hence if there was a collusion and concocted evidence how do you blame the judge. You have to be circumspect and analytical when you write especially when you may not have the full details.

Thanks so much my dear. We are all learning. We learn on daily basis so I accept your view. God bless you. But I thing that we are all referring to the same thing, that there is the need for the money to be retrieved if indeed Woyome was paid unduly and also punish those who released the tax payers money without due diligence.

Woyome obtained judgement in his favor based on false pretences . Now Waterville says it did not have any dealings with this crook. Even then president , Atta Mills ordered that the money should not be paid but they went ahead and hurriedly paid anyway. So this court case iis sort of appeal against the judgment .

I am of the view that the matter concerning Asamoah Boateng has traveled longer in the courts than this issue.
Now Woyome has to put up a defense because this does not mean that he is convicted.

AYA don't ridicule yourself well meaning Ghanaians knows very well the money Woyome received was not meant for him alone. Both NPP and NDC benefited that is why this case is going nowhere. Rewind...the article states that the country owed him a certain amount of money for rehabilitation of the stadiums mentioned in 2008. 2008? who was in power? NPP right and NDC made the payments. So stop ridiculing yourself and do what you can do to improve your life.

VERY SOON, GHANA GOVERNMENT WILL START PAYING "CONSULTANCY" FEES FOR "ECONOMICS ENGINEERING."

THE TWISTING AND TURNING OF ALL COMPLICIT STAKEHOLDERS IN THIS CASE IS JUST A FACADE TO FOOL GHANAIANS BECAUSE OF FEARS OF A BLOODY BACKLASH.

THE "WOYOME" JUDGMENT DEBT CASH IS A PERFECT CASE OF THE CULTURE OF "CREATE LOOT AND SHARE" AMONG GHANA'S ENTIRE LEADERSHIP, SOME OF WHOM ARE STILL HOLDING SENSITIVE POSITIONS IN THE NATION'S CORRUPT GOVERNMENT.

NOTABLE AMONG THESE CRIMINALS ARE BARTON ODURO, AMISSAH-ARTHUR WHO WAS GHANA'S CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR AT THE TIME OF THE JD PAYMENT AND A HOST OF OTHERS.

GHANA'S ECONOMY WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY WITH THESE PEOPLE STILL IN GOVERNMENT "SERVICE".

So, for well over two years, these peopel have wasted the nation's assets on nothing but this nonsnse, and the substantive case has not even been looked at! What a corrupt nation of corrupt institutions! Corrupt Executive, Corrupt Legislature, Corrupt Judiciary and Corrupt People! Did we go or did we come?
I bet this case will continue until the day Wayome comits suicide, because he would rather die than expose his accomplices who are in high places. One would not be surprised when we learn one day that even some of the judges involved in this roadhsow all had their shares in the 51 million!
A word of warning here: When the next coup finally catches up with us, and it will not be too long, the first people who will face the firing squard will include Judges (and this time it will be justified), Wayome and the two Mahamas! Mark it on the wall!!

Assuming he transferred the money abroad, he can now pay back the GH51,000,000 (in cedis)today and still make a profit of $13,000,000 (Thirteen million dollars). Not bad for a "financier" huh ?
