Kapital971.com can confirm that former Deputy Education and Sports Minister in the erstwhile Kufuor administration, Hon O. B. Amoah, who was arrested by the police for questioning in connection with the controversial GH¢51 million judgment debt payment to embattled NDC businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome, has been released on bail.

He was given a GH¢20million bail bond with two sureties.

NPP General Secretary Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John) and 1st Vice-Chairman of the NPP, Fred Oware were the sureties.

Lawyer for the NPP MP, Thaddeus Sory confirmed the details of his release to PeaceFM a short while ago.

The Aburi-Nsawam MP was picked up on Sunday by the police for questioning in connection with the controversial GH¢51 million judgment debt award to businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome and detained overnight. He has been charged with corruption and causing financial loss to the state.

He is the fifth person to be arrested in connection with the matter after the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) presented its Interim Report to President Mills in February.

Mr Woyome and three others, Chief State Attorney, Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh and his wife Gifty Nerquaye-Tetteh and the Director of Legal Affairs at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, Mr. Paul Asimenu are currently facing six charges.
