General News of Wednesday, 17 June 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comUnfreeze my account and I will refund the GH¢51 million in two months - WoyomeAlfred Agbesi Woyome, BusinessmanBusinessman and member of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Alfred Woyome, has said he is ready to refund the GH¢51 million wrongfully paid to him by the state, in two months, should the court release his shares in his company. The Supreme Court in 2017 placed an embargo on the shares owned by the businessman in his 14 companies after it ruled that he was indebted to the state to the tune of GH¢51.2 million. “Let the government release the shares of my company and probably within two months that money will be paid," he said. Alfred Woyome, however, indicated that his intention to pay back the judgment debt does not stop the state from going after the matter. According to the court, a claim by the now-defunct UT Bank that Mr Woyome used two of his houses at Trassaco as collateral for a loan could not be proven.
