The Supreme Court has unanimously
ordered businessman, Alfred Agbesi
Woyome to refund GhȻ 51.2 million to
the state.
Graphic Court Correspondent, Mabel
Aku Baneseh reports that the court
said Mr Woyome got the money out of
an invalid and unconstitutional
contract.
According to the court, the contracts
upon which he made and received the
claim was in contravention to Article
181 (5) of the 1992 Constitution of
Ghana, which requires such contracts
to be laid before and approved by
Parliament.
The court was ruling on a review
application filed by a former Attorney
General, Mr Martin Amidu on
Tuesday.
The eleven-member panel was
presided over by the Chief Justice,
Mrs Georgina Theodora Wood.
Other members of the panel were
Julius Ansah, Sophia Adinyira, Rose
Owusu, Jones Dotse and Anin
Yeboah.
The others were Paul Baffoe Bonnie,
N. S. Gbadegbe, Vida Akoto Bamfo, A.A. Bennin and J.B. Akamba.
