Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu is raising concerns regarding threats by businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome to sue the General Legal Council (GLC) over legal practitioner, Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh’s disbarment from the bar.
Mr. Woyome threatened to sue the GLC for taking such an action against former Chief State Prosecutor, Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh for professional misconduct.
Kpebu asserts that Woyome’s willingness to invest in this legal action highlights his substantial resources, suggesting that the government should reciprocate by pursuing the payment of outstanding debts owed to the state.
Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh, was disbarred as a lawyer by the General Legal Council for collecting GH¢400,000 from businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome in 2011.
The means he can never practice as a lawyer again in Ghana after the Disciplinary Committee of the GLC, the regulatory body of the legal profession, found him guilty of professional misconduct under Rule 2(2) of the Legal Profession (Professional Conduct and Etiquette) Rules, 1969 (L.I. 613).
Speaking to Ahotor News, Martin Kpebu emphasized the need for the Attorney General to initiate efforts to compel Woyome to settle the monies owed the state.
