Court awards costs of GHS2,000 against state in Woyome case
Mr Woyome and three others are facing charges of bribery, corruption and fraud
The Commercial Court in Accra Wednesday granted an application brought by the state seeking to amend a writ and statement of claim filed by the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Benjamin Kunbour in the Woyome case.
The court subsequently awarded costs of GHS2,000 against the state and slated March 26 to start hearing the case.
The state has brought charges of fraud against Mr Alfred Agbesi Woyome, contending that he fraudulently obtained a GHS51 million judgement debt award by making false representations.
He has denied the charges.
