General News Blame Betty for Woyome scandal - Judgement Debt report
JUN 30, 2015 LISTEN

Former Attorney General Betty Mould Iddrisu should squarely be blamed for supervising the illegal payment of 51 million cedis judgment debt to businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome, the Judgment Debt Commission has concluded.

The Commission’s report seen by Joy News says the former A-G decided to settle the case out of court at a time she was ignorant of details of the claims Woyome made against the state in court.

The report also questions her decision to settle the issue instead of appearing in court to defend the state.

The Supreme Court last year ordered Mr. Woyome to refund the money, which the Commission is recommending that government takes steps to retrieve immediately.
