Ato Forson, others vs. State: Politically motivated ambulance case must be discontinued – Franklin Cudjoe

President of IMANI Ghana, Franklin Cudjoe is of the view that the ambulance case should be discontinued.

According to him, the case is politically motivated and lacks the merit to be continued.

In a post shared via social media, Franklin Cudjoe indicated that he does not believe that the Attorney General who has lost his respect will convince a suspect to scheme against another suspect in order to jail him.

He is of the view that the 3rd accused may have been approached to cooperate in exchange for a lesser sentence and not manipulated to help jail the Minority Leader.

“The AG is many things and he has lost some of my respect, but I doubt he would be this brazen to convince an accused person to “make false statements ” against Hon. Ato Forson..I believe the Jakpa guy could have been approached to cooperate in exchange for a lesser sentence. But then, the case itself is politically motivated and must be discontinued!!” his post read.

On May 23, 2024, in court, suspect Richard Jakpa was infuriated by claims that he was supporting Cassiel Ato Forson.

He revealed in court that he had been approached to incriminate Cassiel Ato Forson so that the Minority leader is jailed.

“The A-G has on several occasions engaged me at odd hours to help him make a case against A1 and I have evidence for that…If he pushes me, I will open the Pandora’s box. I don’t understand why the A-G will accuse me of defending A1 when I’m here to defend myself, ” Jakpa fumed in court.

“If he pushes me, I’ll open the Pandora’s box. I have evidence to all this,” a visibly angry Richard Jakpa indicated to the court.
