The Supreme Court has dismissed attempts by Mr Alfred Agbesi Woyome to stop the government from retrieving the Gh¢51.2 million debt that he owes the state until his appeal is determined by the African Court of Human and People's Rights (ACHPR) based in Tanzania
In a unanimous decison Tuesday, the five member-panels held that Mr Woyome's application for stay of execution and proceedings had no merits.

According to the court, its judgement that ordered Mr Woyome to pay the money must be obeyed and any attempt to disobey it would constitute a high crime as stipulated by the 1992 Constitution.
The panel was presided over by Mr Justice Jones Dotse with Mr Justice Anin Yeboah, Mrs Justice Vida Akoto Bamfo, Mr Justice Alfred Anthony Benin and Mr Justice Yaw Appau as the other members.
The ruling comes barely three days after the ACHPR ordered the government of Ghana to halt any moves to retrieve the money until the determination of Woyome's appeal

The lawyer s advicing this man are doing him a big disfavor.They are just ***barred word*** him ,hope it's have their eyes on them.They should tax them for the I'll advice they are giving this man.
best ruling, the Africa court is there to give fairness to africans especially if a tanzanian is been cheated in ghana, there arise the africa court to give justice but not where a ghanaian has cheated his/her motherland that the african court rules. wayome must know that, his human rights has not been hurt neither he been cheated, the law is for both npp and ndc here in as they have for the 4th republic governed, the best to wayome is to start mentioning names of benficiaries so the state can help conficate theirs too to settle it or keep quite and suffer, he will definately be jailed to serve as warning to greedy politicians, am happy the ruling was like atuguba ruling but the nations first henece, if npp in power or out of power is ruled against, no one must ***barred word***, i wish the JSC continue to give credible and unboubtful no akomfem, bankye ruling
This man is his own enemy. You planned this loot with a lot of people who are now sleeping peacefully and enjoying their booty because you have stubbornly refused to rope them in. A list popped up sometime ago showing how much you paid some of them so why can't you mention them and be free. They are not coming to power anytime soon to use the state money to cover up. simply mention them.
Dear My brother Noble, I also ask you, then what is the purpose of Ghana courts if another court somewhere in Tanzania can rule against a case determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in Ghana. A country of its own jurisdiction. In this case, supreme court in Ghana has the legal power on this case that happened in Ghana than this court in Tanzania. Wayome is just dancing with his life. He must pay our monies now. Is he not the one who willfully agrees to pay back? God Save Ghana. Ekow, Cape Coast
