Disappointment
amidst Incompetence by the A-G Department?
After riding on the back of propaganda to win
sympathy from the Ghananaian electorate, amidst unsubstantiated allegations of
corruption and mass murder by the erstwhile Kuffour administration, the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) since being sworn in office and given the
mandate of governance, to unravel the wrong doings committed against the state
and the people of Ghana by government official of the erstwhile NPP
administration.
Three and half years after assuming political power,
the good professor of law, who also doubles as the president of the republic of
Ghana and his team of cabinet ministers who were described and stereotyped by
the founder of their party, former President Jerry John Rawlings as conferred
him by the NDC’s own constitution, as ‘team b and, greedy bastards’ have since
not able to convict even a messenger who served in erstwhile NPP administration.
Surprisingly the trend has since changed and reports
of grave corruption, and incompetence is facing and starring the good professor
and his team B cabinet glaringly, to the extent that the their own founder has
cause to complain and lament the fact that his former foe, now ally former
president Kuffour could stand on political platform and call him, Rawlings a
liar.
The most talked about and discussed corrupt practice
of this so called “I care for you” administration was the way and manner with
which it paid a whooping sum of GH51.2million to Alfred Agbesi Woyome
fraudulently without any basis or contract.
After this whooping sum was
paid without proper and due diligence by orders from the former attorney Betty
Mould Iddrisu and the minister of finance and economic planning, Mr Duffour,
the embattled former attorney of the state, who was the immediate successor to
Betty Mould, Mr Martin Amidu had cause to believe that the so called judgment
dept was fraudulently paid and could have been avoided if diligence was proper
done.
Unfortunately these
revelations by martin had caused him his job as the attorney. Some tried to
obfuscate matters and wanted us to believe that he; Martin had misconduct himself
whilst in meeting with the president. Fortunately to us the public, Martin is
still alive, not dead and told us the real truth.
Earlier this week the state in
her effort to retrieve this gargantuan money paid to Alfred Agbesi Woyome through the attorney general’s
department displayed an abysmal performance in the process infuriating the
trial judge and invoking the judge’s anger. The trial judge Justice John
Ajet-Nasam who could no longer hide his anger
yesterday expressed disappointment with the slow pace at which the
prosecution was handling the case. According to the trial judge, Woyome was not
a suspect but an accused person, since he had been properly charged with the
offence of fraud and he in turn had pleaded not guilty, so the case must
continue to its logical conclusion.
Also the judge who also
doubles as a citizen of this nation whose coffers’ was fraudulently and in
connivance with government officials run sacked and desecrated by one
individual, which has gained so much interest that it has been described by
some as unprecedented in the history of this nation.
According to the Justice John
Ajet-Nasam Woyome was not a suspect but an accused person, since he had been
properly charged with the offence of fraud and he in turn had pleaded not
guilty, so the case must continue to its logical conclusion. When the case was
called on Tuesday the 3rd of August, Cynthia Lamptey, the principal
state attorney handling the fraud case against National Democratic Congress
(NDC) bankroller Alfred Woyome, and three others, told the court that the state
was yet to conclude its investigations, adding that they needed more time to
investigate the case.
If the state was not ready and
yet to conclude its investigations, why then take the case to court? This view was being held by many Ghanaians
and they believe that it’s an orchestrated attempt by government and its bunch
of incompetent state attorney to portray (NDC) bankroller Alfred Woyome,
innocent.
