Ambulance trial: Court of Appeal upholds Ato Forson’s submission of no case

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.
