If you thought the 51 million cedi judgment debt payment to Alfred Woyome was gargantuan, then gird your loins for another which is even more mind-blowing than the 94 million euro paid to Construction Pioneers which is currently before the Public Accounts Committee.
Attorney General Benjamin Kumbuor made the revelation when he appeared before the parliamentary committee yesterday to answer questions relating to the payment to CP.
He told the committee, Ghanaians will be sober once details of other yet-to-be audited judgment debt payments become public.
Dr Kunbour said people in positions of authority took decisions conscious of the fact that those decisions stood to aggravate the level of liability of the state and yet went ahead to make those decisions.
He prayed the PAC to extend its work to unaudited judgment debts that have burdened the state.
But the Chairman of the PAC, Mr Albert Kan-Dapaah reminded him that the PAC was not mandated to look into unaudited financial matters.
He told Dr Kunbour that as A-G, he was a senior member of the government was thus better placed to initiate the process to inquire into the subject of judgement debts.
