Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team, stated that the Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold the submission of no case in the ambulance trial effectively nullifies the entire trial at the High Court.
“It means everything has been aborted,” he said
He told journalists “I want to think the distinguished judges that they had to demonstrate fidelity to the law.”
The Court of Appeal has upheld Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson’s appeal regarding the Financial and Economic Court’s decision.
In March 2023, the High Court had directed Dr. Forson to present his defense after the Attorney General’s office established a prima facie case against him in the 2.37 million Euro ambulance case.
Additionally, Seth Anemana, a former Chief Director at the Ministry of Health, and businessman Richard Jakpa, who were also on trial with Dr. Forson, were instructed to open their defenses.
Dr. Forson and the two others have been charged with willfully causing financial loss to the state amounting to 2.37 million Euros in relation to the purchase of ambulances that failed to perform their intended function.
