Former Attorney General (AG) Martin Amidu has published an affidavit he filed on October 27, 2014 to \u00a0support his claims that the current AG Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong \u00a0\u201cselectively filed an entry of judgment omitting the declarations in respect of the then Attorney General and the fact that the declaration against Woyome was stated to be with Austro-Invest.\u201d<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”DwN5hnU7Gg2WoaEfKq8QEX5vDvPgSI9G”]This was after the AG granted an interview<\/strong><\/span><\/a> with graphiconline.com and said that \u201cOn that day, Woyome\u2019s lawyers went to the court to withdraw the application but I understand Martin Amidu was there to insist it should be struck out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do we serve an entry of judgment on an entity which he says had been dissolved and which by his own statement, it\u2019s name had been struck out from?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amidu dared Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong to \u201cconfirm her integrity\u201d by publishing her entry of judgment and Woyome\u2019s application.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Amidu is of the view that Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong and the NDC government have worked severally to prevent Austro-Invest from being prosecuted<\/strong><\/span><\/a> alongside Mr Woyome.<\/p>\n

In an earlier statement from Mr Amidu, he said\u00a0Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong was a partner in Lithur, Brew and Co, lawyers for Austro-Invest at the time the money [GHC51 million] was paid to the \u201cjoint beneficiary interest\u201d of Woyome and that company.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below is Mr Amidu’s full statement and affidavit he published:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have just read on graphiconline the denial by the Attorney General, Mrs Brew Appiah-Oppong, that she did not selectively file an entry of judgment omitting the declarations in respect of the then Attorney General and the fact that the declaration against Woyome was stated to be with Austro-Invest. Her failure to attach her entry of judgment as a rebuttal speaks to her integrity as an Attorney General. Readers will find hereunder for the avoidance of doubt the soft copy of the affidavit I deposed on 27th<\/sup> October 2014 to in support of Woyome\u2019s application he filed on 26th<\/sup> October 2014 to set aside the entry of judgment which will confirm my story on oath. Woyome\u2019s application which contains serious indictments of the Attorney General can be had from him or the Supreme Court. Alternately the Attorney General may want to confirm here integrity by publish her entry of judgment and Woyome\u2019s application to set it aside.<\/p>\n

I never said anywhere that Austro-Invest could be served with any entry of judgment as she alleges in her reply. Honesty is the hallmark of an Attorney General. Ghana is in big trouble with such government appointees who play propaganda with this nation in everything.<\/p>\n

      AFFIDAVIT OF MARTIN ALAMISI AMIDU THE PLAINTIFF IN SUPPORT OF THE SETTING ASIDE OF THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT BY THE 1ST<\/sup> DEFENDANT\/ RESPONDENT ON GROUNDS THAT IT UNCONSTITUTIONALLY UNDERMINES THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT DATED 29TH<\/sup> JULY 2014<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      I, Martin Alamisi Amidu, of Plot No. 355, North Legon Residential Area, make oath and say as follows.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. That I am the Plaintiff in the substantive action and the review application pursuant to which the Supreme Court delivered the decision dated 29th<\/sup> July 2014 resulting in the purported Entry of Judgment which is the subject matter of 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant\u2019s application herein.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. I am the deponent herein and an interested party to the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant\u2019s application to set aside the Entry of Judgment by the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent and should have been served with this application as well in the interest of justice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. When the Plaintiff was served with the Entry of Judgment in this case which is exhibited to the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant\u2019s application as \u201cExhibit AAW1\u201d the Plaintiff called the attention of the office of the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent to the fact that the purported Entry of Judgment did not truly reflect the ruling of the Supreme Court in the application for review and was intended to curtail the substance of the entire ruling, declarations and order of the Court.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. The plaintiff called the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent\u2019s attention to the fact the manner the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent excluded all the declarations made by the Supreme Court from the Entry of Judgment creates the unavoidable impression that the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent is using the process of the entry of judgment to indirectly render nugatory the declarations made by the Supreme Court for the purpose of their enforcement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. The Plaintiff also called the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent\u2019s attention to the fact that even the order of the Court in respect of which she selectively decided to enter judgment was expressed to include and was not limited to the \u201csaid sums amount to Fifty-one million two hundred and eight-three thousand and eighty Ghana cedis fifty-nine pesewas (GHS 51,283,480.59)\u201d as purportedly stated on the Entry of Judgment filed in this Court on 15th<\/sup> August 2014.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                1. The Plaintiff further called the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent\u2019s attention to the fact that the current and substantive Attorney-General having been the partner in the law firm of Lithur-Brew & Co who were lawyers to Austro Invest Limited before its purported liquidation the entry of judgment creates the unavoidable impression that the substantive holder of the Office of the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant is acting unconstitutionally in abusing her office in shielding her former client with whom the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant acted jointly from the full extent of the declarations made by the Court in the ruling dated 29th<\/sup> July 2014.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. The Plaintiff explained to the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent when the issue of how the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent could enter judgment in respect of the declaration against the then Attorney-General that in spite of the fact that this Court granted a declaration against the then Attorney-General the current and substantive Attorney-General was in duty bound by Articles 2 and 88 of the 1992 Constitution to comply with the decision by entering judgment for that declaration as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                      \n
                    1. In consequence of the discussions held between the Plaintiff and the office of the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent the Plaintiff was assured that the Registrar of this Court would be asked to delay service of the Entry of Judgment on the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant to enable the issues raised by the Plaintiff to be addressed personally by the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent on her return from abroad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      1. The Plaintiff notified the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent that should the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent persist in its unconstitutional conduct of refusing to enter judgment for the entire review decision of the Supreme Court the Plaintiff would be compelled to proceed against both the office of the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent and the person substantively holding that office under Article 2 and 88 of the 1992 Constitution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                          \n
                        1. The Plaintiff was subsequently informed that the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent had requested the Registrar of this Court to delay the service of the Entry of Judgment on the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent to enable compliance with the judgment and order of this Court in full.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                            \n
                          1. Unbeknown to the Plaintiff the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent wrote a letter dated 17th<\/sup> September 2014 to the Registrar of this Court to proceed to effect service of the purported entry of judgment: this was discovered by the Plaintiff on 23rd<\/sup> October 2014 when the Plaintiff had notice of the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant\u2019s application to set aside the Entry of Judgment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                              \n
                            1. I am reliably informed and believe same to be true that as a result of the averments made by the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant in his supporting affidavit, particularly paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 thereof the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent instead of making an answer to the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant\u2019s application is persuading the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant in their mutual interest to withdraw this application and allow the unconstitutional entry of judgment to stand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                \n
                              1. The Plaintiff believes that the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant intentionally failed or refused to copy this application to the Plaintiff as an interested party who was served with the Entry of Judgment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                  \n
                                1. The Plaintiff believes that as the person who commenced the action in this case before the Supreme Court and pursued the application for review in the public interest he is the only person with sufficient standing to depose to this affidavit urging this Court to decide the substantive matter of the legality and constitutionality of the Entry of Judgment purportedly filed by the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent which is materially in consistent with and in contravention of the judgment of this Court given pursuant to Article 2, 130 and 133 of the 1992 Constitution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                    \n
                                  1. The Plaintiff believes that the Government which was the author of the unconstitutional conduct declared by this Court, the office of the 1st<\/sup> Defendant which the Government controls, and the person of the substantive holder of the office of the 1st<\/sup> Defendant\/Respondent who was associated with the unconstitutional conduct declared by this Court while in private practice as a lawyer have exhibited a clear intention in the Entry of Judgment not to enforce the judgment as decided by this Court in the review application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                      \n
                                    1. The Plaintiff believes that substantial justice demands that once this application has been brought to the notice of this Court this Court is duty bound to decide the application on its merits as it affects the binding nature of this Court\u2019s decision as provided for under Article 2 of the 1992 Constitution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                      WHEREFORE I swear to this affidavit in support of the fact that Entry of Judgment herein is inconsistent with the decision of this Court dated 29th<\/sup> July 2014 as a result of which this application should be decided on its merits and not to be allowed to be withdrawn by the 3rd<\/sup> Defendant\/Applicant.<\/p>\n
