A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team, Abraham Amaliba, says the embattled businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, also has a right to make a living despite finding himself at the center of the controversial GHC51million judgment debt saga.
To him, once the NDC financier has not been found criminally guilty for receiving the GH?51million judgment debt, he is entitled to do legitimate business with the government.
"People are of the view that because Woyome has to pay GHC51 million to the State and because government is following Woyome for the money, then the State should not even consider listening to Woyome or have any business transaction with Woyome, Why?
"The criminal process that was activated to prosecute Woyome for fraud collapsed at the High Court and Court of Appeal. So, as we speak now, Woyome is not a criminal because he’s gone through the process. Woyome is a Ghanaian citizen who is entitled to do business,†he said.
He added:  “I would have cried foul if people can point to this framework agreement and say once again a fraudulent thing is about to happen. But to make it to look like so long as the NDC is in power, Woyome should not do business with the government is for me trying to say that Woyome should not eat again as a Ghanaian until this government is out of power.â€
Meanwhile Kweku Baako, the Editor-in-Chief of the Crusading Guide Newspaper, has expressed his disappointment at the new GHC35 million Woyome scandal, stating that it should not have been allowed to happen and that is offensive to the citizenry.
Speaking on Joy FM on Saturday, Baako said that if 'common sense' had been used by government officials, they would have known that it was stupid to partner with Alfred Woyome again after his initial scandal.
