Sandwiched between the devil (prosecution) and the deep blue sea (not touching him), the NDC tenaciously adopted a rather lukewarm attitude towards the Alfred Agbesi Woyome case.
It was a simple matter of sending the embattled NDC financier to court but not showing any form of zeal in prosecuting him.
The feet-dragging attitude which the NDC employed when they sent the case to court after they realized that there was a groundswell of support from Ghanaians against the judgment debt paid to Woyome was puzzling, to say the least.
The Woyome scandal which tormented the NDC for years has reached a state where one could say that it is coming to a successful end.
The Supreme Court has ruled that his assets should be sold to defray the debt he owes the country.
This feat couldn’t have come without the resilience of the Attorney General, Gloria Akuffo and her able lieutenant, Godfred Kwame Dame.
The NPP made a big issue out of this matter and the passage of time has proven that the uproarious manner in which the party, then in opposition, treated the Woyome scandal was not out of place.
But for the Akufo-Addo administration and the New Patriotic Party, the Woyome case would have screeched to a jarring halt without any concrete outcome.
Incorruptible Akufo-Addo deserves commendations for not dismissing this landmark case. The Attorney General’s Department must also be hailed for this great success!
NDC ARCHITECTED THE WOYOME SCANDAL AND CANNOT SHARE THE SPOILS OF THIS VICTORY
There appears to be a natural affinity between the NDC and absurdity!
Having supervised the fraudulent payment of the GHS51 million judgment debt to Alfred Agbesi Woyome, the NDC also made sure that the beleaguered financier of the party was shielded.
There was a heavy swell of anti-Woyome sentiments which coerced the then NDC administration to file a case at the court to retrieve the monies paid to him. They were never interested in the matter.
The excommunication of Martin Amidu was, among other matters, linked to his decision to pursue this matter and all those who had played roles in it.
The Gloria Akuffo-led Attorney General’s Department has fought tooth and nail to win this landmark case.
These NDC comedians are claiming that they should be given credit for this case since they first went to court. If they had not paid the money to him in the first place, would there have been any need to go to court in the first place?
These people, after it was revealed that they had paid Woyome for no work done, defended the payment as though their very existence depended on it.
Now they want to share the spoils of the battle the Akufo-Addo administration has won without their inputs!
The only credit that we cannot contest belongs to the NDC is the fact that they patented corruption, and that of Alfred Agbesi Woyome was an offspring.
