Rockson,
I'm sure you do not intend the oxymoronic conclusion you reached with this piece. After trumpeting the qualities and capabilities of the man, you go on to make the following rather intriguing statement: "In his capacity as the Finance Minister, he authorised all such payments without the slightest idea that they were all schemes employed by the NDC to dupe Ghana out of money for their selfish ends" If the finance minister who's paid by the good people of Ghana does not have the slightest idea the very job he's paid to do, why is he there? In any other walk of life, this is called incompetence which render's the whole point of your piece rather feckless. Try again

Hi Adofo in Old London
Dr Duffuor is a national asset. Kwabena Duffuor was invited to Ghana by the Rawlings regime and made Deputy Governor and later Governor of the Bank of Ghana. Dr Duffuor is a registered CPP member but accepted to help the late Prof Attah-Miils when asked to do so.
Even when the CPP elements challenged him why he did not notify them about accepting a post from the NDC (then in the Transitional Team in early 2009), Kwabena Duffuor replied the CPP that "it was these same people who made me Governor of the Bank of Ghana, why didn't you speak about CPP membership at that time"?
So Dr Duffuor opted to REST now. Remember, he is the ONE CABINET MINISTER IN THE NDC GOVERNMENT WHO TOOK NO SALARIES!!!!!!!!
We all respect Dr Duffuor very much.
His decision to rest has nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with Woyo-woyo amn.
Cheers and long live Ghana

"....he, unknowingly. In his capacity as the Finance Minister, he authorised such payments without the slightest idea....."
Adofo, if you are trying to exonerate Dr. Kwabena Duffour, you are rather tarnishing his image. I do not know how it is done in Ghana but administratively in most countries, a request for such enormous financial expenditure would have arrived on his desk with Memoranda and or supporting documentations outlining what the payment was all about. Not only that, the "docket" for lack of a better terminology will have been put together from a lower level where various data is collected and collated, processed through various levels of qualified minds who will of necessity add their inputs by way of comments/views/observations until it finally lands on the Minister's desk.
Even there, he will not just grabs his pen and append his signature giving his approval but must apprise himself with the bare necessities of the submission. If there should be a recommendation for payment by person or persons delegated to do so, he still applies his mind to details and takes the merit/demerits of the total docket into consideration to either approve or reject the submission and therefore, the payment thereto.
As someone who was the Accounting Officer of the country/government, he was the safeguard of the nations finances and despite the court's stance must be seen to be safeguarding the country's interest advising the government appropriately, even if this should result in future court actions against the government, because in the final analysis, he would have emerged lily-white when Agbesi's alleged fraud would ultimately have come to light as it did. So to put across that he was beguiled into becoming a victim seems to paint the picture of someone who was more of a rubber stamp which will not do his image any good. And come to think of his educational attainment,which would have instilled in him a degree of responsibility, he cannot be the sort of person you are trying to portray.

THE CHARLATAN CALLED ADOFO ROCKSON
I have read the pathetic, useless, hollow and tribally jaundiced article by the above named brainless, faceless and low life ‘character’ that has the penchant for attacking the personality and hard won reputation of Mr. Alfred Woyome. I have always treated his useless craps in the name of an article with the contempt it deserves, I think his useless and tribally jaundiced crap of Sunday, 13 January 2013 which appeared on the Ghanaweb deserve an appropriate response to expose the envy and bitterness of Adofo Rockson and his paymasters and educate them adequately in the matter of the judgment debt paid to Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
I am challenging Rockson Adofo to show his true identity if he thinks he has any reputation or credibility, and working in the interest of Ghana rather than writing his craps under a pseudonym.
I want to first educate the writer that, Mr. Woyome has not at anytime warned the President as to who to appoint or not to appoint into his government. Mr. Woyome only exercised his right as any right thinking Ghanaian offered the President to know people he appoint, especially those who have fabricated lies and made allegations leading to his wrongful arrest which matter is in court, until the final determination of the case in court to prove the culpability or otherwise of all the people involved.
I am deeply shocked that shameless bigots like Adofo Rockson and elements within the NPP will be hiding behind, and try to tarnish the reputation of Mr. Woyome in the case of the judgment debt paid to him by a court of competent jurisdiction, especially so when it is their government under the leadership of former President Kuffour and his cabinet who have caused the liability.
During the regime of NPP in power, Mr. Woyome was able to source money for the government to build the Gushiegu, Begoro and Sogakope Hospitals. For the information of Adofo and his cohorts, Mr. Woyome has been working with a lot of African countries, including Togo, Benin, Liberia, Senegal, etc. Mr. Osafo Marfo during crossing examination after giving testimony as a prosecution witness in the case in court, Mr. Osafo Marfo confirmed that Mr. Woyome arranged funding for them to build the three (3) hospitals mentioned above.
I am very much convinced that the writer, Adofo Rockson has a memory retention problem and therefore cannot recollect developments and events accurately, so have therefore decided to write all the gibberish he has been writing to suit him and his paymasters.
I want to advice shenanigans like the writer in the NPP and their collaborators in the NDC to go and read the testimony of Mr. Osafo Marfo, where he testified in open court that on the 4th of July, eight (8) bids were received, and one of them from VAMED Engineering/M-Powerpak, which was represented by Mr. A.K. Woyome who tendered in the documents at 3:47 pm and duly signed against it.
Mr. Osafo Marfo also in an answer to a question from the Defense Counsel during the cross examination relating to the illegal abrogation of the contract said ‘if you are a member of Cabinet of about thirty (30) people, you go with your opinions and exchange of views. What Cabinet decides is finally what is binding. I express my opinion as a member of Cabinet; I sent a memo that was personally Yaw Osafo-Marfo’s opinion… Mr. Osafo Marfo also warned his colleagues in Cabinet about the consequences of what they intend to do at the time, to cancel a legally awarded contract and giving the job to the Chinese who did not even take part in the bidding process.
The Cabinet memo which was dated July 27, 2005 and written by Mr. Yaw Osafo-Marfo, the then Minister for Youth and Sports, and also the former Finance Minister under the Kufuor administration stated that, ‘if the NPP should cancel (illegally) then they should marshal forces to defend the cancellation both NATIONALLY and INTERNATIONALLY.
The question I want to ask Adofo Rockson is, if he is one of the people engaged to defend the illegal termination of the contract internationally; if it is so, for how long do they think they can hide the truth from Ghanaians?
Is Adofo Rockson aware that Mr. Woyome brought in a lawyer called Collins Russel from London to register their protest over the illegal cancellation of the contract during the NPP regime in government?
Is Rockson and his cohorts aware that Mr. Alfred Woyome went to court and was awarded a claim of over GH¢ 106 million, but during negotiations forgave the government GH¢ 54 million, which was his profit, cost and interest, and settled for GH¢ 51 million, which was just the principal (actual money he spent within 5 years in sourcing the over 1.5 billion Euros for Ghana)?
Is Adofo Rockson and his cohorts aware that when Mr. Woyome was paid the first tranche of GH¢ 17,094,493.50 as ordered by the court, he used that money to pay his bankers, UT Bank, NDK Financial Services and UNI Bank, owned by Dr. Kwabena Duffuor (the Kumawu kinsman of Adofo Rockson), who were all involved in the financial engineering financing?
Is Adofo Rockson and his collaborators aware that in the bogus Auditor General’s report, a recommendation was made that, state officials who caused the huge financial loss should be SURCHARGED?
Did the Auditor General’s recommendation or the late President J.E.A. Mills’ directives to EOCO to investigate ALL judgment debts say the beneficiaries should be embarrassed, illegally arrested and detained whilst those who caused the liability through their negligence and vindictiveness walk free the streets making false allegations?
It is very important to expose the unprofessional and criminal conduct of the Auditor General who has forged figures in the ‘Auditors General’s Report on the Public Accounts (Consolidated Fund) for the year ended 31 December, 2010, in which he intentionally and criminally claimed that Mr. Woyome was paid the first tranche of GH¢ 58,905,974.54 instead of GH¢ 17,094,493.54. The Auditor General later called Editors and issued a press statement that he made a mistake in his report to Parliament, instead of rectifying the so called mistake in his report and presenting it to Parliament and not news editors.
It is on the basis of the criminally planned and bogus Auditor General’s report that some evil and wicked elements within the NDC met with Kennedy Agyepong to start and execute their evil Agendas due to envy and vindictiveness.
Ms Yvonne Quansah in her testimony in court testified that she was part of the Finance Sub-Committee that reviewed the definitive financial instrument in the offer submitted by the Woyome Consortium. These simply will tell Ghanaians that there was a contract which was at a point illegally terminated by a hurriedly arranged meeting of the Kufuor-led Cabinet of Ghana in Akosombo in 2005 by a one item Cabinet Agenda leading to this liability on the State.
It is very pathetic and preposterous for this disgruntled writer to claim that Dr. Kwabena Duffuor was not dropped from President Mahama-led government, but that Dr. Duffuor has it as a resolute determination not to go for a second term in any government appointment.
How did the writer know these; and what was the import of writing for the world to know if Dr. Duffuor was again appointed or not?
I am deeply surprised at the tribally-jaundiced mentality of this sad soul and his contradiction in his write up, where he condemned Dr. Duffuor and the NDC Government, but made a U-turn when he remembered that Dr. Duffuor is his kinsman from Kumawu, so he started praising him and singing about his abilities and business acumen.
I wonder if with the above facts and not conjectures by the tribal bigot writer with his lazy and impotent mind will educate him and he will not still say Mr. Woyome is a ‘fraudster of the century’.
If he still believes so, then I think the tribal bigot will need a psychiatric examination.
I urge you to wait and see those who will go to jail at the end of the trial, and then you will wake-up from your self induced state of a mind in a dream, and face realities.
I am advising Adofo Rockson to try and find peace within his soul and stop the frivolous and vexatious attacks on Mr. Alfred Woyome.
Do you have a wife and children? I want you to allow them to read this piece and I bet you, they will beg a psychiatric Doctor to urgently admit you in a sanatorium.
