Efforts by security agents to go beyond where they have reached so far with the Woyome judgment debacle are being stalled by the Castle, DAILY GUIDE has reliably gathered.
The Minister of Finance and other top government officials who would be needed to enable the security agents make appreciable headway in their investigations are unable to show up because the Castle is not comfortable with the outcome of such an engagement.
It is a discreet effort not intended for prowling media personnel, given the high-profile nature of the scandal.
The subject, due to its political implications for the government, has undergone various stages lending it to an assortment of interpretations since the story broke out.
A source hinted that those who expect government to be more forthcoming in the matter will be disappointed as the seeming feet-dragging approach is part of the grand strategy put in place to delay the process.
It would be recalled that former Attorney-General Martin Amidu expressed fears that the will to move ahead with the case was lacking in the Attorney General�s Department.
President Mills, according to reports, is not doing much to alter the impression people have created about him since the story hit the public domain.
Recently, the communications managers of the embattled Alfred Agbesi Woyome issued a statement pointing out that the embattled Woyome was longing for his day in court.
Mr. Woyome claimed in the statement that Mr. Amidu had all the time t he needed at the AG�s Department to deal with the issue and so it was unjustifiable for him to point at a delayed process regarding the issue.
He added that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) were in cohort to protect certain political personalities from possible implication in the judgment debt debacle.
Sounding confident in the said statement, Mr. Woyome said that he had not entered any deal with the NDC to protect certain personalities.
The Woyome judgment debacle is one whose outcome Ghanaians from both sides of the political divide long to know. As the political season nears, it will definitely form an integral part of the campaign issues of the opposition parties, especially the NPP.
