Throw out Woyome’s frivolous application – Amidu to SC

Former Attorney General Martin Amidu has in an affidavit to the Supreme Court appealed to the apex court to reject the writ by embattled businessman Alfred Woyome seeking to prevent him for cross-examining him.

Amidu who was billed to examine Woyome over the controversial GHC51 million judgment paid him by the state was stopped in the last minute when the businessman filed two writes Wednesday asking the court to review its ruling that permitted his cross-examination.

But in a response to the writ, Amidu argued: “In the premises I believe that the application for stay of proceedings is frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of the process of the Court and ought to be refused.

“I oppose the application for stay of proceedings on the main ground that it discloses no reasonable ground or grounds for the making of an application for stay of proceedings to this Court pending the discharge or reversal of the ruling and order of this Court dated 16th November 2016 aforesaid to warrant its consideration by this Court.

“Furthermore, the mere allegation that the 3rd Defendant/Applicant is dissatisfied with and aggrieved by the said ruling or that there had been misdirection or a series of them is not a fair, just, or special circumstance warranting an application for the grant of stay of proceeding in this action”.

The case is set for another hearing on December 1.
