Businessman embroiled in the GHS51 million Waterville judgment debt case, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, has announced his intention to sue the General Legal Council (GLC) for disqualifying former Chief State Attorney, Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh, who was involved in his case and allegedly facilitated the transfer of GHS 400,000 to his wife.
Mr Woyome contends that the GLC's actions amount to contempt of court, asserting that judicial decisions have exonerated him and any other parties involved in the contract of any wrongdoing.
The GLC recently withdrew Mr Nerquaye-Tetteh's license after finding him in violation of professional conduct standards within the legal profession.
In response to the GLC's decision, Mr Woyome expressed disappointment, suggesting that it was unfairly targeted at him. While he acknowledged transferring GHS400,000 to Mr Nerquaye-Tetteh's wife, he maintained that it was solely for humanitarian purposes.
Mr Woyome stated, "Thank God that we have got all the judgments. Thank God that I am waiting for the Supreme Court to do the honourable thing by departing away from the so-called linking me to something that I am not part of…I can say that I pledge on my honour that I will remain very active to make sure that the institution of government do the right thing. And I want to announce here that I am taking the General Legal Council (GLC) to court early next week."
He continued, "We will pursue GLC and the AG for them to stop what they are doing…Nerquaye-Tetteh’s wife’s money that I sent to her was on the basis of what I do at WOFA, Wilmy Foundation for Africa. I pay fees and pay other things for many people across the whole African country. When I work that is what I used my money for, philanthropy."
Mr. Woyome's threat of legal action against the GLC underscores his determination to challenge the council's decision and defend his reputation amidst ongoing legal proceedings related to the Waterville judgment debt case.
