Businessman Alfred Woyome has, through his lawyer, requested the Supreme Court to allow him additional three years to refund the GHS51.2 million he fraudulently got from the State. He made the request on Tuesday March 1. His Lawyer argued that his client could not refund the money by December 31, 2015 as he had earlier promised because all his accounts were frozen by the State during criminal investigations into the payment of the money.
He told the court he could pay GHS8 million by the end of April 2016 and spread the remaining GHS43 million in three years. Mr Woyome was paid the GHS51.2 million after he sued the state over an alleged breach of a purported contract between him and the Government. In connection with the termination of the same alleged contract, foreign construction firm, Waterville Holdings BVI, was also paid €25 million.
