General News of Tuesday, 8 May 2018Source: Starrfmonline.comJustice Dotse has a prejudiced mind – Woyome LawyersJustice Jones Dotse, Supreme Court JudgeLawyers of embattled businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, have launched a scathing attack on Supreme Court Judge, Justice Jones Dotse, accusing him of treating their client unfairly. The lawyers claim Justice Dotse in several of his judgment commentaries spoke ill of their client signalling his dislike for him. Mr. Woyome was paid GHc 51 million after claiming he helped Ghana raise funds to construct stadia for the hosting of the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations. Subsequently, the Supreme Court in 2014 ordered Mr. Woyome to pay back the money, after a former Attorney General, Martin Amidu, single-handedly challenged the legality of the payments. Following delays in retrieving the money, Supreme Court judges unanimously granted the Attorney-General clearance to execute the court’s judgment, ordering Mr. Woyome to refund the cash to the state.
