The Minority in Parliament has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government cannot claim all the credit for the progress made so far in retrieving the 51 million cedis paid to Alfred Woyome as judgement debt.
Critics have argued that the previous NDC administration was not interested in the case ostensibly to protect Mr.Woyome who is a known party financier, after that same administration paid him the money.
But the NDC MP for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, told Citi News the case was not initiated by the Akufo-Addo administration and that they have done nothing substantial to retrieve the money as they promised Ghanaians.
“The value that is being placed on the properties is 20 million so you are still going to have close to 30 million outstanding. What has this government done in almost three years to try and find a way of retrieving that 30 million? They cannot say this is a fulfillment of a campaign promise.
“They promised to retrieve that money. This retrieval is as a result of the action of John Mahama’s Attorney General. What has Nana Addo’s Attorney General done?”
His comment comes a day after the Supreme Court gave the Attorney General permission to sell properties belonging to Alfred Woyome to offset the GHc 51 million judgment debt paid illegally to him by the State.
The properties earmarked for sale include two executive buildings of the businessman, the office complex of Anator Holdings, a company owned by Mr. Woyome, and two other residential buildings at Caprice and Abelemkpe.
The sale would amount to GHc 20 million.
The ruling followed claims made by the receivers of defunct UT Bank that some of the properties identified by the state for sale was theirs.
Woyome has however described the Supreme Court’s order as an error.

No wonder he was slapped. Comments like these are always characterized by slaps. Sam George please grow.
Am still struggling to find the appropriate word to describe this NDC party members
Ningo-Prampram please 2020 do mot send this guy to represent you in parliament, he has undone the good name that Mr ET Mensah acquired for you . This guy is a disgrace in the highest magnitude to you people among Ghanaians! anything that comes from him is negative to the whole of Ghana, most Ghanaians don't like him and that is a minus to you to elect somebody disliked by the people which put your integrity and respect at stake! Elect somebody who will bring you honour and respect. The world is a global village moving fast and dealing with sophisticated youth who can think kritically and not thugs nor rascals but intelligence.
We hear! The credit should be given to your grandmother and your entire family. Is it MADDDNESS or WWITCH-CRAFT the NDC members are suffering from? Let me end here before i say something else.
No wonder we are where we are as a nation, if persons who call themselves as "honorable" are part of the law-makers of the nation. What's he arguing about and for? What did the past administration do to prove that they were poised to retrieve their own create, loot and share with their financier? Sam George must give us a break and stop the noise.
