PNC General Secretary, Bernard Mornah has called on the Attorney General to clear her name of the allegations leveled against her by beleaguered NDC financier Alfred Agbesi Woyome.

Speaking on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", Bernard Mornah told the Attorney General (AG) Marietta Brew-Oppong to do everything possible to dissociate her name from the list of beneficiaries from the 51 million judgment debt paid to Mr. Woyome.

He however wants Mr. Woyome to prove his case in the court of law if he really thinks he has a case so sleeping dogs could lie.

Following the High court ruling which acquitted and discharged Mr. Woyome on two counts of defrauding and causing financial loss to the State, Mr. Woyome seems to have sworn to nail down every person who benefited from the judgment debt he received from the State.

Beginning with the AG, Woyome has accused her of collecting 1 million dollars when he was paid the debt.

"I find it difficult to reconcile your decision to involve yourself directly in this criminal case and notice of appeal you have authorized to be issued and served on me. It is a fact that you and your clients received approximately one million dollars equivalent in Ghana Cedis from the said judgement debt you now so much criminalized and want me jailed for. The Cedi equivalent was GHC 1,474,393.00 through an Agricultural Development Bank cheque number 727324 dated 06/10/11 in the joint names of Ray and Ingeborg Smith," Woyome revealed in a letter to the Presidency.

He called for the resignation of the AG.

Reacting to the contents of the letter and the claims by Alfred Agbesi Woyome, Bernard Mornah stressed the need for both parties to do all they can to unearth the truth.

He called on the AG to proceed with her appeal notice that she served Woyome and further retrieve the money from him.

“I think that Woyome and the Attorney General will have to clear themselves. The money issue is there that the Supreme Court has made a ruling on it and that one will have to be retrieved. And the Attorney General should initiate processes towards that.

“Woyome, if you think you have a case; wait and then go to court and put up your defense...to water down on the merit on this matter and if we don’t take care, it will become as a personality attack.”
