I don’t have contract with gov’t – Woyome denies

Businessman Alfred Woyome has denied claims by pressure group OccupyGhana that he has been given a new contract by government despite the GHC51 million judgment debt scandal involving him.

OccupyGhana claims the Transport ministry in December 2015 entered into a GHC35million contract with a company owned by Woyome to construct deep seaports at the harbours.

In a statement Friday the anti-graft group said “while the nation is still reeling from the effect of the Alfred Woyome judgment debt scandal, and the stalled and hesitant attempts by the Attorney-General to execute the judgment of the Supreme Court, the Government of Ghana has, on the blind side of Ghanaians, entered into a “confidential” and potentially lucrative agreement with Woyome, acting through one of his companies, Anator Holding Company Limited”.

But in a terse response to the allegation, Woyome told newsmen in Accra that he has no new deal with the state.

“It is not true. OccupyGhana is just trying to run me down, but I will respond at the appropriate time,” he said.

Meanwhile, the group has started releaing onto social media copies of the supposed approval to the contract signed by the Chief of Staff.
