A member of the Legal team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Godwin Edudzi Tameklo has said that the court of appeal decision to uphold the submission of no case in the ambulance trial means the entire trial at the High Court is aborted.
“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 an appeal on the Financial and Economic Court’s decision by Minority Leader and former Deputy Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
The High Court in March 2023 ordered Dr Cassiel Ato Forson to open his defence after the Attorney General’s office established prima facie against the former deputy finance minister in the 2.37million Euro ambulance case.
Two others, Seth Anemana, a former Chief of Director, Ministry of Health and Richard Jakpa, a businessman, who were standing trial with Dr Forson were also directed to open defence.
Dr. Forson and the two have been variously charged with willfully causing financial loss to the state to the tune of 2.37 million Euros in the purchase of ambulances, which could not be used for their intended performance.
