Government has vowed to collect every penny that was wrongly paid to anybody, including businessman, Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
It will also ensure that the state 'purse' is saved to ensure judicious spending and from further borrowing.
The Minister of Communications Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, said this in Accra yesterday, when his ministry took its turn at the Meet-the-Press series.
Flanked by his deputies, Ato Sarpong and Felix Ofosu Kwakye, as well as Presidential Staffer, James Agyenim-Boateng and George Loh, Member of parliament for North Dayi and member often Government communications Team, the Minister said government was determined "to collect a dime wrongfully paid."
He described as unfortunate, the misinterpretation, and twists associated with the Attorney Generals quest to collect the money from Mr. Woyome.
Explaining that "the 51 million was not paid under the guise of President Mahama," he said it was time people appreciated efforts being made by the government to ensure that the money was refunded to the state.
Dr. Boamah said government had also ensured that those implicated in corruption-related cases were investigated, and some put before court to serve as deterrent to others.
He commended the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Mrs. Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, for saving the country colossal amounts of money which would either have gone into the drain, or as cost that could had gone against the stated.
He urged journalists to delve more into issues that would better the lives of the people rather than on Woyome's case.

Collect the money for us now and stop those bogus and unnecessary press conferences still wasting our tax payer's money. We do not need you to commend the Attorney General who is herself an accomplice. You are scared of losing, but trust me, 10 days from you will start accounting for your bad stewardship.
Oh, so we should not talk about the stealing of public funds since 2009. Your guys are ***barred word*** who should not be allowed any where close to the state purse.
Otwebene do you know what 51 million cedis can do for poor people, Daawa konko. We will continue to talk about it till he pays.
So Honorable Dr. Edward Omane Boamah your sincerely believe 51million wrongly paid to woyome would not have positively bettered the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian? How much does one the Day secondary school just built by the government cost. Please when ministers of state make such statements we feel so insulted and disappointed.
Massa; Omane Boama and these NDC animals all received part of the Woyome lut ; for them defending Woyome suits them because there is another fraud in the pipeline with this Anotor Holdings business in which Jon Mahama wishes the state of Ghana to 24% shares ; these three are animals in the name of vultures ; this Omane Boama ; did he qualify as a Doctor and did he practice his choosen field and if he is a sure doctor does he understand providing misleading and providing misinformation in his profession are illegal ; the question is why are these animals defending Woyome ; these NDC babdits should be shot because these are educated thiffs who are just stilling Ghanas resources but another couple of days and we shall see how they talk after the elections .
Omane is one of the use less ministers in Ghana competiting with his boss JM for the accolade as incompetent. If Omane Boamah thinks that Nana Addo is associated with wrongful payment of judgement debt they are in power why dont they should go to court and stop disturbing our ears and behaving fuuuuuuuulishly all the time. Omane Boamah wo maame tw33333! wai Gyimiiifo).

IT ONLY IN GHANA THAT SUCH F.O.O.1 WILL BE COME A MINISTER AND TALK AS IF HE OWNS THE COUNTRY. SOMEDAY POSTERITY WILL DEAL WITH YOU FOR YOUR PERFIDY.
