Alfred Agbesi Woyome, a troubled businessman, has vowed to sue the General Legal Council (GLC) for disbarring Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh, the Chief State Attorney.
In a Friday media conference, Mr. Woyome called the GLC’s ruling a contempt of court.
At the center of the GH¢51 million Waterville judgment debt dispute, Mr. Woyome said that court rulings absolved him and all other parties to the deal of any wrongdoing.
“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 stated.
Following GLC’s disbarment of Mr. Nerquaye-Tetteh from practicing law due to the GH¢400,000 collection in 2011, Mr. Woyome made his statements.
The GLC stated in a notification dated January 31, 2024, that Mr. Nerquaye-Tetteh personally oversaw the money’s direct transfer from Mr. Woyome to his wife’s bank account while representing the state in a lawsuit filed by Mr. Woyome.
The businessman acknowledged making the transfer, but he argued that it was only done for humanitarian reasons and could not be the reason behind the GLC’s decision.
“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,” he noted.
