WE KNOW ONLY TWO NAMES, NANA ADDO & BAWUMIA. NANA'S LEADERSHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS.WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, BANKS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY????

VERY FRUSTRATING!
MEMBERS OF OUR LOW GRADE LEGISLATURE (PARLIAMENT) LIKE AMASA NAMOALE (BBC NEWS!!!!!!) DON'T DESERVE THE ACCOLADE ''HONOURABLE'' IF OTHER INTELLIGENT MEN AND WOMEN OF INTEGRITY IN PARLIAMENT WANT TO BE RESPECTED, THEY MUST EDUCATE PEOPLE NOT TO ELECT A CHAFF LIKE AMASA NAMOALE (BBC NEWS!!!!!).

WHEN DID OUR PARLIAMENT TURN TO THIS? When did it turn to a place where foolish people and people who don't seem to know where they are go? What is somebody like Amasa Namoale (BBC NEWS!!!!!)doing there? Do those who vote for this idiot think beyond what they will eat today. I BLAME PNDC AND THE PDC CONCEPT. This encouraged all kinds of fools and nobody's to get involve in government, and this is where we are today. VERY DISAPPOINTING. HE IS SAYING WAYOME SHOULD SUE FOR MORE MONEY. IS HE WEALTHY OF BEING IN PARLIAMENT AND BE REFERRED TO AS ''HONOURABLE'' If those there with this person want the name ''honourable'' to carry any weight, then they should discourage people from voting for his sort.

WHY WILL ANYBODY ADD ''HONOURABLE TO THIS GUYS NAME?

Member of Parliament for the La Dadekotopon Constituency, Hon. Nii Amasah Namoalo, claims he would have sued the government in court for more money if he were in the shoes of Alfred Agbesi Woyome.

The latter illegally received Ghc51 million from the State in 2010 for his role in the construction of stadia for the CAN 2008 tournament held in Ghana. And for this reason, the Supreme Court, on July 29, 2014, ordered him to refund the money to the state on the grounds that he got the money out of unconstitutional and invalid contracts between the state and Waterville Holdings Limited in 2006 for the construction of stadia for CAN 2008.

But speaking on UTV’s Adekye Nsroma, the MP for La Dadekotopon urged Mr. Woyome to go to court and sue the state for failing to present his contract to Parliament before the money was paid to him.

He accused the New Patriotic Party of masterminding this move when they were power and wondered why they failed to do the just thing by bringing the contract to parliament.

“If the NPP had brought the contract to parliament before the payment was made, the Supreme Court wouldn’t have directed Woyome to refund the money to the state…I wonder what influenced the NPP not to bring the contract to Parliament”, he said.

It is all part of the ploy, throwing dust into the peoples eyes by pretending to go after Woyome knowing very well they have their boys and girls in place in the judiciary to throw it out. How earth would any good lawyer stay on a case that show she has a conflict of interest. Lithur calls the shots including a package deal to make his wife a minister and make Marietta the AG. Smart man -- he knows all his cases will go through with Marietta in place. What a country!

Name: The Israelites
I have been through four different continents-Africa, Asia, North America and Europe. I can say without any apology that no country has ever developed by just observing PEACE!. All countries advanced in develpment by doing something better than maintaining Peace. Christians call it righteousness and the secular people call it, doing things right! I head people say if anything at all we have peace! Peace has never develop any country... Righteousness does. Stealing state money will never develop Ghana. Let us repent!! or stay like this..

The Judge used the absence of "key actors" like Betty Mould, Barton Odro and others to set the suspect free.

Assuming this Attorney General SUSPECTED that the above mentioned people collaborated with the suspect, and were therefore "part of the criminal gang", then those people would rather testify in favour of the suspect, instead of the State.
Remember, they refused to file a defence when Woyome went to Court, to claim the judgement debt, although Woyome had no genuine contract to back his claim.
That could explain why they were not called.

The statements of the nine witnesses pointed clearly, that the then government of Ghana did not ask Woyome to go and seek any loan from abroad. And although Woyome says he was dealing with an Austrian Bank, that Bank did not know any such deal with Woyome.

In his defence, Woyome did not produce any kind of CONTRACT, or agreement with the State. He just applied for a "no case" judgement. And he was contradicting himself, causing the hearing to be adjourned.

There were too many things which the Judge refused to consider

When better people are talking legal matter, this mother fucker illiterate idiot too wants to be heard. Listen to this useless illiterate.We have not forgotten how the ugly thief Kufour, gave you thousands of the tax payers money to go round the wolrd to search the bank accounts of former president Rawlings. You too, attacking the judiciary.Yopu did not find anything wrong with it when npp criminals are set free by this same judiciary. How dangerous an illiterate can be. Have you ask your Kufour, what he did with the drillship and Vodafone money? You are insane and foolish.Only the equally illiterate shoeshine rats would take you as a human being.Swine.

The judges judgement had no INTERGRITY to it. When a higher court has ordered the repayment based on fraud how can a lower court say otherwise ? The Judge is suspect and must be thoroughly investigated.

Malik Kweku Baako should stick to media where anything illogical and sensational sells and leave logical reasoning to others. Best government lawyers Ghana has to offer will never prevail on fraud charges against Woyome before a court of fair and impartial judges in the world. I challenge Kweku Baako and others to assemble a court of internationally known legal experts to try Woyome on fraud or extortion charges. I guarantee that Woyome would win his case against the state because it would be proven that the government stadium renovation open bid contract was fraudulent and government agents conspired to defraud potential vendors.

Kweku Baako will not and cannot explain how and why government agents gave official government letters of introduction to Woyome to pursue stadium renovation funding sources if there was no official procurement open bid and or Woyome did not win the initial stage of the bid process. Where did Woyome defraud the government if Woyome pursued the government for breach of contract in courts of the state? Was it because all the judges who ruled in Woyome's favor during those processes were ignorant of the laws of the nation or conspirators to defraud the state? The Supreme Court of Ghana in the case of Amidu V Woyome did not rule that Woyome did not participate in the stadium renovation open bid process but that the contract between Woyome and the state was invalid because it did not receive parliamentary authorization.

That comrade Kweku Baako shows sloppiness on the part of government agents for failing to seek requisite authorization from parliament but should not be grounds to punish Woyome for seeking payment for service rendered to the state through solicitations by the bid process under the auspices of a government institution.

Funny! NDC and Woyome think this case is over; it's absolutely not over. The judge who made that bogus declaration should be ashamed of himself. Can the same judge have the guts to sentence an armed robber to jail term, in any bank raid? The NDC and their apparatchiks are toying with the laws of the land.
