Publisher, CEO and Editor-In-Chief of the Enquirer, Mr. Raymond Archer has hit back at Alfred Woyome, saying he is nothing but a common thief and a conman suffering from excessive hallucinations which make him crave for the attention. Mr. Archer said he does not want to reduce himself to that of Woyome because everything he talks about is lies and a figment of his thieving imaginations. Woyome who almost brought down the Mills government is at it again, trying to smear the new John Mahama administrative with this same judgement debt matter. It is pure blackmail,� he told the Enquirer yesterday. Mr. Archer said, he is surprised that people take him that serious adding that if there is anyone who knows Woyome it is he, Archer, adding that �as for me, he can�t defraud me, he is a joker. He admitted that he used to be friends with Woyome for about a year and half, but he cut him off because of his thievery and using of people�s name to peddle all kinds of influence. Mr. Archer revealed that when the NPP was in government, Woyome pulled the biggest heist against him �and that was the first time I got the signal that I was dealing with a thief.� �When we were doing the Kufuor kickback scandal, Woyome approached me for a copy of the kickback tape but I refused. He waited for me to step out of the office then sneaked to my office and told my staff that I had asked him to pick a copy of the tape for safekeeping. �As soon as he got the tape, he went and sold it to National Security, so that they would neutralize the story. When I found out, he told me that he gave the tape he stole from my office to her boss, the Honorary Consul to Austria, who told me Woyome was lying,� Mr. Archer said. Mr. Archer noted that, Woyome�s action occurred after he had resisted an attempt to bribe him to drop the story. To be contd
