Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has said the NDC has a telephone recording of Attorney-General Godfred Dame coaching the third accused person, Richard Jakpa, to implicate Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Mr Nketiah, the Attorney-General is heard on the tape coaching Mr Jakpa, despite the objections from the third accused.<\/p>\n

The Minority Leader, Dr. Ato Forson, Sylvester Anemana as well as private businessman, Richard Jakpa, are standing trial for willfully causing a financial loss of \u20ac2.37 million to the state through a contract to purchase 200 ambulances for the Ministry of Health, among other charges.<\/p>\n

The state has, however, discontinued the case against Sylvester Amemana.<\/p>\n

It is recalled that during court proceedings on Thursday, May 23, 2024, Mr Jakpa fumed at the Attorney-General for accusing him of defending Ato Forson, in his testimony.<\/p>\n

However, the NDC maintains that the government has been \u201cpersecuting\u201d Dr Forson since 2021.<\/p>\n

Mr Asiedu Nketiah said, \u201cThe Akufo-Addo government has been persecuting the Minority Leader over the purchase of an ambulance. This is political witch-hunting and persecution,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

He further stated that the NDC is compelled to set the records straight regarding this court action following deliberate falsehoods by Attorney-General Godfred Dame and New Patriotic Party (NPP) propagandists.<\/p>\n

Ambulance trial: A-G has engaged me at odd hours to implicate Ato Forson \u2013 Richard Jakpa<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the context of repeated falsehood, deliberate misinformation and distortion churned out by Godfred Dame and NPP propagandists, we are compelled to correct certain misconceptions about the transaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be irresponsible on us to sit a loof to sit and allow the deliberate misinformation to fester,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
