The Office of the Attorney General has filed an appeal against the Court of Appeal’s decision that acquitted and discharged Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson and Richard Jakpa in the ambulance procurement case.
The AG in a Notice of Appeal filed on August 8, 2024, argued that the majority decision erred in applying the rule on the standard of proof necessary to determine whether the accused should be called to answer the charges against them.
The appeal further contends that the majority's finding that the letters of credit did not constitute a payment under the contract contradicts the evidence presented and is untenable.
The Attorney General is asking the Supreme Court to overturn the acquittal and discharge and to order the accused to continue with their defence.
