Early this year, a financier of the ruling party Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome was arrested for allegedly defrauding the Republic of Ghana in the amount of GH52m (GHS) through judgment debts. Due to the dragging of feet by State Attorneys, a judge even threatened to rule the case in favor of the defendant. In three years, government has paid out about $500m dollars in judgment debts; many of them fraudulent and allegedly to party sympathizers. The $500m is almost equal to $547m Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) Ghana won in 2006. A country that gives out $500m in judgment debts without due diligence do not deserve the sympathy of the world and particularly the MCA account. We therefore call on Obama to pressure the government so Ghanaians can get their monies back and put it to good use.
