Leader of a group calling itself the ‘Free Woyome Campaign Movement’, David Tamakloe has asserted that business mogul, Alfred Abgesi Woyome, is being used as a sacrificial lamp to save government from being voted out of power ahead of the December elections. Mr. Tamakloe together with members of the group stormed the court premises Monday calling for the immediate release of Mr. Woyome. His claim comes weeks after the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) accused President John Evans Atta Mills of using Alfred Woyome’s case to cover up the many 'gargantuan crimes and corruption' being perpetrated in his government and that the president cannot not be exonerated in the whole saga. Mr. Alfred Woyome, the man at the centre of the controversial GH¢58 million judgement debt saga was, on Monday, refused bail and was charged with conspiracy to commit crime, defrauding by false pretense and corrupting public officials. He is to reappear in court on the 13th of February. Two others, Chief State Attorney, Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh charged with aiding and abetting crime, and Paul Asimenu, a Director at the Legal Department of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning charged with one count for abetting crime, were also refused bail and remanded in police custody. The wife of the Chief State Attorney, Gifty Nerquaye-Tetteh also charged with aiding and abetment was however granted bail in the sum of GHS 500,000 and is to report to the police twice weekly. David Tamakloe in an interview with Ekosii Sen sit-in-host, Kwadwo Asare Baffour Acheampong (KABA) Monday, said there are attempts to cover up for some government officials involved in the issue and denigrate the hard earned image of the Mr. Woyome. According to him, government cannot contain the repercussions of such action if they continue with the diabolic ploy against Mr. Woyome. He questioned government’s decision to single out only Mr. Woyome in the entire scandal when in fact key government officials were implicated in the whole saga. David Tamakloe argued that Mr. Woyome should have been given the benefit of the doubt since he availed himself to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) during its investigation as compared to the other government officials implicated in the saga. He stressed that Mr. Woyome’s continuous detention in police custody is unlawful and a breach of his fundamental human right.
