Nomination of Asiamah to chair PAC is a 'joke' - Woyome's aide

An aide to beleaguered businessman Alfred Woyome has described as a joke the nomination of MP for Atwima Mponua, Isaac Asiamah as chairman for the next Public Accounts Committee meeting.

Kwame Tawiah has also described the appearance of his boss before the committee on Wednesday as a waste of time.

Mr. Woyome who is in court over a 51 million-cedi judgment debt paid to him by the state finally appeared before the committee after refusing to honor two invitations and a summon last month.

Mr. Woyome’s next appearance before the committee which is yet to be decided will be chaired by Hon. Isaac Asiamah.

Speaking XYZ News, his aid stated that the committee could have appointed a better person to chair the committee.

“That is a joke of the century, we see the PAC as a serious committee…so someone must not be nominated for his utterances that makes people laugh.

“We all thought this was a serious business but from what is happening now it seems the whole thing is turning into a cantata show” Mr. Tawiah said.
