Businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome was given an amount of GHC 35,000 by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, when he lost his mother.
GHC20,000 of the amount was given by the NPP party while the President also donated an amount of GHC 15,000 to him.
Four ministers of state including a Deputy Sports Minister were said to have presented the amount to the businessman at the funeral of his mother which was held at Dabala in the Volta Region.
A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Agbesi Nutsu, made these allegations on Adom FM Wednesday.
“When Woyome’s mother died, NPP donated an amount of GHC 20,000 to Woyome at the funeral, Nana Addo also gave an amount of GHC 15,000 to him as well…as if that was not enough, four ministers were dispatched to the funeral…,” he claimed on the show.
The businessman, he said was in the good books of the NPP and that dictated the donation to him when he lost his mother.
“The NPP are now dumb on the Woyome cash and I want to know why…I ask myself why the seeming loud silence…I ask if the President is for and still stands for Woyome accounting for the money he took…I simply think the donation at funeral mean NPP won’t chase him for the money…,” he said.
Adomonline.com could not independently confirm the claims of the NDC man.
The GBC reported that the active members from the leadership of the two major political parties, the NPP and NDC converged at the Dabala Parish of the Global Evangelical Church in the Volta Region to mourn Madam Gladys Amavi Amehoho, the mother of businessman, Alfred Woyome.
The event, the state media said could have passed for a “royal funeral’ as it attracted hundreds of sympathisers from different walks of life.
Reacting to the allegations by Agbesi Nutsu on the show, Member of Parliament for Effiduase-Asokore constituency, Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie said the alleged donation to the businessman cannot deter the President and the government from chasing and retrieving into the coffers of the state, the GHC 51 million judgment debt the businessman owes the state.

Funny
THE FACT IS SIMPLE THE NPP AND ITS BIG WIGS HAVE BENEFITED IMMENSELY FROM MR. WOYOME'S RICHES. ITS A FACT THAT IS NOT DISPUTABLE.
Would haven fall if you did not come to say, NDc wise up
What is wrong with these NDC guys. Are we enemies? Don't they know the difference between social life and politics? I don;t have to make funeral donation to somebody because he is in an opposition party. What ***barred word***thinking is this? If this is the kind of things you will be doing, you will rot in opposition for the next 20 years. Sure Bet.
Agbesi, woyome's brother is in GHANA's Parliament. the only BHC boy with dead brain cells
I'm so angry. I meant if they listen to firmer President Rawlings it will help them a lot. NPP attended Ibrahim Mahama's mother's funeral dies that take away anything Ibrahim has done to the state? I can see these people are not in for political power but they mean an agenda some Ghanaians are still not getting it, how can you make enemies out of politics? I pity those Akans in that party,they have a real agenda against Ghana if not how come anytime ndc is in power Ghana becomes so hot and confused state and they try to fix their people everywhere and private business that will make you survive they destroy it with heavy taxes and destroy every sector that will move Ghana forward. Ghanaians must think about it! I've made my mind already by the utterances of this guy. If you vote for the ndc you are an enemy of Ghana who must be stoned to death. They are wicked,callous and evil and anti-Ghana.
Ndcfuo agyimi aaah gyimie paa ni. So if somebody owes you and you know the mother and she dies that means that money owed me is dead? Mo'agyimi dodo eeeeiii! It will help these bufo*ns who think they are smarter than anybody so much so that they are full of their buf**N self if they listen to their founder former President Rawlings. In any case can he come out with the name of the one who made the presentation? NPP attended Ibrahim Mahama's funeral so what about that? You are genetically fo*ls. Ghanaians are not that st*pid as you take us.
The fact that the NPP donated some amount of money at the funeral of Woyome's mother does not mean they hate him as an individual. The NPP will still purse the cash and retrieve it for the nation.
