A three member review panel of the Supreme Court presided over by Justice William Atuguba together with Justice Sophia Adenyira and Justice Jones Dotse has by a unanimous decision dismissed an application by the embattled businessman, Alfred Woyome, seeking to stop an earlier decision of the Supreme Court that ordered him to appear before the court for the State to orally examine him.
The oral examination is to identify his business interests and properties through which the State could retrieve some 51 million Ghana cedis paid wrongly to him as judgement debt.
The Application
Mr. Alfred Woyome in his application claimed that his fundamental Human Rights were being violated by the decision of the court ordering his oral examination. His second reason for his application was that the Supreme Court in its order breached sections of its own rules of court as provided for in CI 47.
Decision of the Apex Court
The court in its short order read by Justice William Atuguba said the entire application is dismissed and that its signed ruling will be available at the registry of the Supreme Court.
