Woyome’s application ‘rubbished’ by Supreme Court

Alfred Agbesi Woyome

An application filed by businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome to halt his oral examination by the Attorney General has been rejected by the Supreme Court.

Mr. Woyome who was seeking to halt a request by the Attorney-General’s department to question him regarding how he intends paying off the GHC 51.2 million judgement debt awarded him, filed an application to that effect.

According to him, Article 134 (b) of the 1992 Constitution provides him the right to apply for a stay of the decision of a single Justice of the Supreme Court and to ask for a panel of three Justices of the Supreme Court to vary, discharge and or reverse the order of the single Justice of the Supreme Court.

Presiding Judge on the case, A.A Benin, ruled that the stay of the executive was baseless and had no grounds and hence dismissed the application.
Woyome was initially scheduled to be examined on Thursday, July 29 2017 but the process was put on hold after he submitted an application for a stay of proceedings.
