Ambulance case: Dame informed me Ato Forson is his target – Jakpa
The third accused in the continuing ambulance case, Richard Jakpa, claims he was informed by Godfred Yeboah Dame, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, that the goal of the criminal prosecution was to put former Deputy Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson in prison.
The Attorney General informed Richard Jakpa during his testimony that Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the initial accused, is the main target of the case.
On June 13, he revealed this to the legal team of Ato Forson on Thursday during cross-examination.
Furthermore, he said that he gave papers and cooperated with the Attorney General because he was given the assurance that no case application would be made to have him later discharged.
Mr. Jakpa went on to say that this guarantee made him think the AG would help, and before the prosecution had even concluded its case, the AG gave him the addendum to the primary contract between the Government of Ghana and Big Sea.
