I think that Judges in Ghana are free to dispense justice in the country. How come that ministers are refusing to accept their verdicts?

IGNORANT KO, YOU WOULD ONE DAY BE DIRECTED TO READ YOUR DISMISSAL LETTER ON THE COMPUTER.

HARD (PAPERR) COPIES OF EVIDENCE ARE PRESENTED TO JUDGES IN COURT, BUT NOT ON COMPUTERS (SOFT COPIES).

WHEN JUDGES GIVE VERDICTS, THEY ARE PRESENTED TO THE PARTIES INVOLVED OF PAPER.

THESE NPP SUPPORTERS ARE VERY ENVIOUS AND FULL OF HATRED?

DO YOU PERSONALLY KNOW THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, MRS. MARIETTA BREW APPIAH-OPONG AT ALL?

HATRED AND ENVY WILL SEND YOU EARLY TO YOUR GRAVE!

The Title of the Article should read AGD meaning Attorney-General’s Department halts payment of Ghc352.6m judgement debt. It the AGD in Kumasi that halted the gagantuan judgement debt. The AG herself was unlike Wayome case neither in court nor interfere in this case. You people should read the article well and stop allowing bias media in Ghana to mislead you.

HOW ON EARTH DOES A GHANAIAN JUDGE SIT AND AWARD SUCH A CLAIM? DO THEY KNOW WHAT SUCH SUMS MEAN IN REALITY? JUST BECAUSE A LAWYER SHOWS UP WITH FIGURES ON A SHEET OF PAPER DOES NOT MEAN A LEGAL BRAIN IGNORES REASON AND REALITY!
SUCH JUDGES ARE OVER THE HILL AND MUST BE PURGED FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE THEY WRECK FURTHER DAMAGE.

They have colluded with NDC to dune the State. They don't deserve a dime. The contract was legitimately terminated by the World Bank, Ministry of Local Government, and The LGPSU of ILGS. I know this case very well.

It's the AG's duty defend the state at all time. They just failed where the had conflicts of interest. This article should celebrate the guy in kumasi who led the prosecution and not Marieta Oppong-Appiah.

When will this nonsense and completely wasteful judgement debt payments cease?
The. monies could have been used to provide modern classrooms for our leaders of tomorrow.
If the government lawyers do not know how to write contracts,it should be contracted to the private law firms.
They will do a good job.
The moment you enter into a binding contract,the other party starts spending money and time in preparation to discharge their obligations.So you CANNOT go back to abrogate it at will without incurring some form of damages.Because the aggrieved party needs to recover monies spent and be compensated for time wasted and the opportunity cost of not pursuing other contracts.
It is about time we held the government lawyers JUST APPENDING their signatures on these contracts to account for the consequent losses.
It is becoming annoying and unpardonable to unnecessarily waste our financial resources when some children are schooling under trees at the mercy of vulture droppings and vagaries of the weather and squatting on the floor to study.

This story only raises more questions. How did the judgement amount balloon so much? I suspect that following the public outrage of the Woyome acquittal, the thieves lost their nerve

It will help a lot if they will be asked to give reasons for their decisions so that all stakeholders can read tham.

Rid of them? Most of them are 'political appointees' anyway,so we should not kid ourselves with this 'nonsense' about judicial independence!
Btw,what is holding back the release of the Judgement Debt Commission`s Report,which will lay bare the complicity of Judges,Attorneys[working for both the State and private firms],as well as other high-ranking govt functionaries from across the political divide,of this nation.
Those who have turned the mantra:"Create,loot and share",into a political theme song,are plainly dishonest!

Thye are NOT careless and they don NOT judge by heart. Have you heard the term "highest bidder"? They make their cuts from these judgements. Hve you not seen that top lawyers, even at the AG's office have been involved in such payments? We also have seen Ministers pressing for such illegal monies to be paid to these crooks.

If a project is tender for bidding and contract is awarded thy doesn't mean it is finalized..there must be a clause: all money spent by the bidder rust at his own expense and if the contract is terminated due to funding..the bidder looses his money..often and times because if the government corrup officials sinse the always connector the bidder, the turns to ignore the core part of contract of agreement and the ends leaks informations for the purpose of these kinds of judgement beause they know there will be some kind of kick backs
..those citizens who work for the interest of the government it's be stump out
