The Supreme Court has ordered the defunct UT bank to produce its witness to support their claim that some of the properties that government intends to sell to defray the judgment debt owed by Mr. Woyome are theirs.

Sole judge, Alfred Benin, in Court October 15 ordered for UT bank to produce its witness when he called for their witness to stand in the box, but was informed by Counsel for UT that they had no idea that the witness was to be cross examined.

The judge complained of delays and asked that the case be heard at the beginning of every week for it to move on expeditiously.

Deputy Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, accused UT bank of deliberately delaying the process, but counsel for UT Bank said it is also in a hurry to claim its property.

The Attorney-General maintains the businessman, Alfred Woyome used the said properties as collateral to secure loans in excess of GH¢9 million from the bank, months after the bank claimed to have bought the properties.

The three properties in dispute are Residential facilities located at Trassaco Valley estates, Accra New town and a quarry located in the Volta region.

Deputy Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, briefing the media after the court proceedings said some new properties of Mr. Woyome have been identified and the State intends to sell them in addition to the others.
