Woyome; Prez Mahama responds to Amidu's allegations

President John Dramani Mahama has responded to allegations that he asked the Attorney General to discontinue an oral cross examination of Mr Alfred Agbesi Woyome with regards to the retrieval of the Ghc51.2 million judgement.

Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr Martin Amidu had made the allegation against the President in an application to the Supreme Court to be given the opportunity to orally cross examine Mr Woyome.

On Wednesday the Supreme Court granted Mr Amidu's application for him to go ahead and cross examine Woyome on November 24.

However the court ordered that some paragraphs of Mr Amidu's affidavit be expunged from the records following an argument by the Attorney General that they were "scandulous"

At a Presidential Encounter on GTV Wednesday night, a questioner asked President Mahama what he was doing to retrieve the money from Mr Woyome.
