Minister of Communications, Dr Edward Omane Boamah has accused former Attorney-General Martin Amidu of committing perjury as far as Woyome saga is concerned.
The affable Dr. Omane Boamah went riot on MultiTV/Joy FM’s news analysis programme, Newsfile, describing the former A-G as a “liar,” and demanding that Joy FM "puts him on the line" for him (Omane) to address him.
The Citizen Vigilante, as the former Attorney General is affectionately called, has been very instrumental in the state’s case against businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome in the controversial GHC51.2million judgement debt payment.
The state is currently pursuing Woyome for repayment.
Contributing to Saturday's programme, Dr. Omane Boamah listed a number of claims Mr. Amidu made in court and his public treatise, describing them as “lies”.
According to Omane Boamah, Martin Amidu among others, also lied when he claimed the Attorney General’s firm was on the side of Mr. Woyome when in fact the firm was rather against Woyome.
“Martin Amidu has told lies to the Supreme Court of Ghana…he told a big lie and he is a damn big liar,” he screamed.
Citing three instances he believed Mr Amidu "told a big lie" and thus "is a damn big liar", the Communications Minister alluded to the Citizen Vigilante's claims that the current Attorney General Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Opong’s firm, Lithur-Brew and Co represented Austro-Invest, a company he claimed benefited from the GHC51.2million wrongly paid to Woyome.
He also mentioned cases such as Alfred Agbesi Woyome vrs Raymond Archer (a journalist), and Raymond Smith (Ray Smith) a shareholder of Austro-Invest and Managing Director of M-pawapak Ltd vrs Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
Dr. Omane Boamah insisted that in all these cases, Mr. Amidu lied when he claimed the Attorney General’s firm was on the side of Mr. Woyome when in fact the firm was rather against Woyome.
It was based on these that the Minister in a fit of rage projected the former Attorney General that “he is a damn big liar”.
“Get Martin Amidu to speak to his lies,” Dr. Omane Boamah demanded, pestering the show's host to call Martin Amidu into the show, but the host will not budge.
"Come out of whatever hole you're hiding in," he dared Mr Amidu.

I wondered why the show host would not put Mr. Amidu on the line to clear the air. I'm inclined to believe that he (the host) was sure that would be a disaster for Mr. Amidu. I'm sure if the roles had been reversed, the host wouldn't hesitate calling the Hon. Minister to clarify issues. Very unfortunate, Samson, you blew it and exposed your biases.
Omane Boamah, are you aware that Martin Amidu was once your Vice-Presidential candidate? Stop the ranting and tell your government to go get us our money. Victoria Hammah said you were also getting money nyafunyafunyafu that's why you have become so arrogant.
Massa we want the money dasol
Whether he is a BIG liar or a HUGE liar, we want our money.SIMPLE
posterity will judge all of us. You Omane Boamah we all saw you before coming into politics. God bless you paa wai. continue to insult the elderly
I now understand why Ghanaians are suffering. If people like Dr Omane Boama is a minister, what do you expect. This is what we term as intellectual dishonesty.
I was so surprise to see this minister on news file talking to about martin being a liar ,what is happen to Ghana .so cheap to be bought by this people ,after all that we have paid for your education this is how u behave ,we hoping there is a change
Ei ewiase paa ni,apotobibri telling the barrel that he is so dirty. anytime you speak ***barred word*** i will open your bottom for all the world to know that you are keeping your ill gotten money with your mate the roman father. Aben no b3bo. If Martin has committed perjury you can take to court. I believe you know where the courts are since you once took the former chairman of NPP to court.steelers, akronfoo kuo.
Who can give me one achievement of Omane Boamah? Maring Amidu has spent his time and secured successful prosecution of Woyome. Amidu is a patriot and in the UK here, Amidu will be having a tea with the Queen. I mean Her Majesty the Queen with a knighthood given to him for his service to his country. But look at non-achiever like Omane Boamah. He is a big distrace. He is doing this to protect his ill-gotten wealth and his friends at NDC. How come poor country like Ghana spent $2 billion dollars to buy properties in Dubai? Omane and his NDC cup are full. We will check them oil in 3 weeks time
