For instance, what is happening to those who paid the money to Mr Woyome? The state can consider going after them for the wrong payment that was made. After all, he (Woyome) didn\u2019t use a gun to take the money\u201d he said in an interview on Yem Radio in Bolgatanga monitored by MyNewsGh.com.<\/p>\n<p>While raising possible arguments of double jeopardy by Mr Woyome, Lawyer Namoo prevailed upon the A-G to consider taking on former Attorney General Betty Mould Iddrisu and other officials involved.<\/p>\n<p>On government\u2019s fight against corruption, he noted that it was prudent for the state to be meticulous in its dealings and not to rush and fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see why the Attorney General should take an individual to court and lose the case. So before the state takes up a case against any person, we must be sure. That\u2019s why things seem to be delaying\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 28 June 2019 Source: Mynewsgh.com 2019-06-28 Alfred Agbesi Woyome The Upper East Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Anthony Namoo has proposed the criminal prosecution of persons who played key roles and facilitated the payment of some GH\u00a251.2m judgement debt to businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
