Court of Appeal Acquits Ato Forson in Ambulance Case; AG Vows to Appeal

In a significant legal development, the Court of Appeal has acquitted and discharged Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson and businessman Richard Jakpa in the high-profile ambulance procurement case.

The ruling, which overturns a previous conviction, has sent ripples through Ghana’s political and legal circles.

Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame swiftly expressed his disagreement with the court’s decision, announcing his intention to appeal the verdict to a higher court.

This move has ignited a heated debate among political figures and commentators, with opinions sharply divided on the merits of the case and the Attorney-General’s response.

Former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu weighed in on the matter, cautioning the Attorney General against pursuing an appeal, suggesting it could lead to embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Sammy Gyamfi, a prominent political figure, voiced his confidence that any attempt to overturn the acquittal would be unsuccessful.
