Nana Asante Bediatuo, Lead Counsel for NPP�s Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, Nana Akomea, Kennedy Agyapong and Sammy Awuku, has described as �frivolous� and �bogus� a law suit brought on them by one of the counsel for beleaguered businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome. The four, and six others including the CEO of Despite Group of Companies, Osei Kwame Despite; CEO of Multimedia Group Limited, Kwesi Twum and Editor of Peacefmonline, Nana Kwadwo Asante, have been hauled before an Accra Circuit Court on a motion for contempt brought against them by Lawyer David Annan, a member of the NDC Legal Team. However, Nana Asante Bediatuo tells Xfm 95.1 his clients are unperturbed by the suit. According to him, the issue at stake is one of public concern and so �it will be most ridiculous to suggest that nobody talks about it�. �This is such a bogus, frivolous law suit intended to prevent people from talking about the Woyome case. You will recall that the person who sent this matter to court, David Annan himself has talked about the Woyome case on air. Mr Woyome himself has given a press conference on this; the President of the Republic has given statements on the Woyome saga and several other people." "This is such a matter of profound national interest that it is almost ridiculous to suggest that nobody ought to talk about it. When we are talking about an amount of money that is so outrageously large that it affects our national finances and we are being ask not to talk about it?�
