Betty Mould Iddrisu<\/strong><\/p>\n

The
\nConvention People\u2019s Party (CPP) is calling for criminal charges against former
\nMinister of Justice and Attorney General, Betty Mould Iddrisu, for her
\ninvolvement in the payment of GH\u00a251.2 million as judgment debt to businessman
\nAlfred Agbesi Woyome. <\/p>\n

The
\nparty also wants some other former appointees of the opposition National
\nDemocratic Congress (NDC) who, somehow, facilitated the erroneous payment to
\nthe businessman to be investigated. <\/p>\n

It
\nsaid the then Minister for Finance, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor; former Deputy Attorney
\nGeneral, Ebo Barton Oduro; and one Neequaye Tetteh of the Ministry of Finance
\nmust be probed.<\/p>\n

The
\nCPP\u2019s call comes in the wake of the Supreme Court order to the state to go ahead
\nand sell some four properties of the beleaguered businessman to defray the
\ndebt.<\/p>\n

The
\nproperties include three residential properties \u2013 two at Trassaco Valley and
\none at Accra Newtown, as well as a quarry at Mamfe in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n

The
\nproperties, according to Deputy Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, were
\nestimated to cost at least GH\u00a220 million. <\/p>\n

The
\nstate has also said it has discovered two more properties belonging to the
\nbusinessman and will take steps to sell them off.<\/p>\n

Self-defence <\/strong><\/p>\n

Betty
\nMould-Iddrisu has insisted that she did not err in authorising the payment of
\nGH\u00a251.2 million to the NDC financier. <\/p>\n

The
\nSupreme Court in July 2014 ordered Mr. Woyome to pay back the huge amount to
\nthe government following a suit filed by Betty\u2019s successor, Martin Amidu, now
\nthe Special Prosecutor, but the order fell on deaf ears. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe
\nCPP wishes to state that the retrieval of the money would be meaningless if the
\nofficers of state who deliberately, conscientiously and dutifully participated
\nin the state loot are not brought to justice. Then Minister for Finance, Dr.
\nKwabena Duffour; Minister of Justice and A-G, Betty Mould Iddrisu; her Deputy,
\nEbo Barton Oduro; and Neequaye Tetteh, formerly of the Ministry of Finance,
\nmust be made to dance to the same adowa<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt
\nwas through their willful negligence, willful participation or a combination of
\nthe two that made this unarmed broad-day robbery of the powerful state of Ghana
\npossible. The state must go after them or risk serving any lesson to
\nindividuals entrusted with the power of the state who tend to abuse it,\u201d a
\nstatement signed by CPP\u2019s acting General Secretary, James Kwabena Bomfeh noted.\n<\/p>\n

The statement further recognized Deputy Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, for his sterling capacity in pursuing the matter of retrieving the money.<\/p>\n
