Some critics, have therefore, accused officials of the AG\u2019s Department of deliberately refusing to defend the state to enable Mr. Woyome secured a default judgement.<\/p>\n<p>The court, presided over by His Lordship IO Tanko Amadu, had ruled for the enforcement of a negotiated settlement for the sum of GHC42m between the state, represented at that time by Attorney-General Betty Mould-Iddrisu, and the NDC financier, for alleged contract executed in respect of the construction of stadia for the CAN 2008 tournament.<\/p>\n<p>However, recent reports on the on-going saga indicates that contrary to earlier reports that the Ghana government had paid GH\u00a242million to the self-styled NDC financier as judgment debt in connection with the construction of stadia for the hosting of the CAN 2008 tournament in Ghana, the NDC guru actually received GH\u00a258 m as pay-off.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Auditor General\u2019s report for the year ending 2010, Mr. Woyome received almost GH\u00a258 million as \u2018settlement of claim involving rehabilitation of three stadia\u2019; GH\u00a242million earlier before another GH\u00a217m.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.peacefmonline.com\/photos\/news\/201108\/145151479_934664.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><span>Speaking in an interview with <strong>Okay FM<\/strong>\u2019s <strong>Ade Akye Abia<\/strong> Morning Show, Napo as the Manhyia MP is affectionately called, expressed his disappointment in the former Attorney General for her \u2018ignorance\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, it is amazing how Madam Mould-Iddrisu, herself a pro in legality, could disrespect a court order and go ahead to dole such huge sums of state money out.<\/p>\n<p>To him, there is every pointer to the fact that the former A-G conspired with the NDC bankroller to rip the nation off, describing it as corruption in the highest order.<\/p>\n<p>The NPP MP dared Mr Woyome to produce any document which indicates that he has any contract with government, stressing that he only took advantage of lapses in the system to fleece the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI state quite categorically that Mr. Woyome has defrauded the state because he has no contract with government to warrant that settlement,\u201d Napo said.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Member of Parliament for Manhyia Constituency, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh has called for the immediate dismissal from office of former Attorney-General and current Minister for Education, Madam Betty Mould Iddrisu, accusing her of conniving with embattled NDC guru, Alfred Agbesi Woyome to fleece the state<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Woyome Saga: Former Attorney-General Must Be Sacked - Napo - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2011\/12\/20\/woyome-saga-former-attorney-general-must-be-sacked-napo\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Woyome Saga: Former Attorney-General Must Be Sacked - Napo - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"The Member of Parliament for Manhyia Constituency, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh has called for the immediate dismissal from office of former Attorney-General and current Minister for Education, Madam Betty Mould Iddrisu, accusing her of conniving with embattled NDC guru, Alfred Agbesi Woyome to fleece the state\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/f740156100116_934652.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/20\\\/woyome-saga-former-attorney-general-must-be-sacked-napo\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/20\\\/woyome-saga-former-attorney-general-must-be-sacked-napo\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"Woyome Saga: Former Attorney-General Must Be Sacked &#8211;
