He might have just been coached by his lawyer to come out with this fact at this dying moment, because if it was so he'd have said same already.
Was he not the same person who at one breadth said they were supposed to go and have a pre-shipment inspection to see if it met conditions and satisfactory use as an ambulance?
Didn't he at a point also say his company was sidelined and for that matter he was no longer involved in the transaction?
His stories keep changing everyday

This Jakpa Richard guy thinks he's smart,why is he misusing warranty by heart.A supplier can only apply the the warranty clause when the product(the ambulances) are ready to be used.The 340units ambulances the NPP brought had the warranty clause becoming applicable when they were handed over to the govt thru Silver Star Auto after Pre Delivery Inspection.

Where are the 340 Ambulances Akuffo Addo brought in. These are substandard ambulances, most aren't in good condition now.

Are you not ashamed of yourself for asking about the Nana Addo's ambulances? Did any of NDC supporters questioned why Mahama brought in those cargo trucks as ambulances? Look at you.

The ambulances that the current government brought into the country were fully equipped to operate as ambulances. They were also under warranty. Jakpa thinks that he can deceive the court and Ghanaians. Equipment that is under warranty should be fit for the purpose for which it was manufactured. If one buys a cellphone which is under warranty it is ready for immediate use as a cellphone otherwise it is not a cellphone. In otherwise it is not fit for purpose. The effect of a warranty is an undertaking by the manufacturer that this phone is without defects and is ready to be used as a cellphone but if any defect is discovered within a specific time frame the manufacturer will remedy the defect. This applies "mutatis mutandis" to the empty vehicles that were imported. The warranty meant that the vehicles were fully equipped ambulances. It did not mean that the vehicles were empty shells to be converted into ambulances later. If this is Jakpa's defence it amounts to recklessness and reinforces the charge of causing financial loss to the State. Jakpa is spewing garbage and one wonders about the calibre and quality of the lawyers representing him.

This insipid toad sees the cargo trucks as ambulances, my God! And is fighting the court from sending Ato Forson to jail? What is Jakpa as far as the purchasing of the cargo truck ambulances are concerned?

Before the ambulance were shipped it has to go through inspection by the purchase agent. The dealer will never shipped the ambulance without being signed by the purchase agent as good. The question needs to be answered by Jakpa is who signed the purchase agreement. And was it signed as ambulance or what?The dealer is not going to accept the ambulance back if it was fully inspected and signed as ambulance before it was shipped.

You are an illiterate. The company themselves want the ambulances back so that they pay like thief Agyemang Manu and the Sputnik vaccines. Kwasea. Some of you lack sensible sense. Idiot

Nonsense, have you buy a car before? No dealer is going hand you keys to a vehicle unless you have fully inspect the vehicle. The whole ambulance wasn't shipped at a time. It was a consignment. If the first batch was inspected and found to be not worth as ambulance they could have stopped the dealer from shipped the remaining ones. How can you make such payments without due process,?
Fiifi 1 year ago

The one who made the payment has been freed on medical grounds (obviously with the assistance of Dame). Ato Forson only signed Letter of Credit. This case lacks common sense.

Why is the Ministry of Health not giving us answers?Tnx.

So when were those ‘bakery vans’ going to metamorphose into ambulances? So what was imported could not be classified as ambulances? Do you import cars without engines and then wait for the engines, seats and dashboard etc to come in at another date? And some people would force themselves to believe this story because of politics? I weep for this country. What is the meaning of the expression’ not fit for purpose’? That is exactly what the purported ‘ambulances’ were. Ambulances are purchased to be used immediately because they’re needed.

I don't think Jakpa fully understands the warranty clause he is citing here to help his case. If he knows all this why did he apply for plea bargain. The man is a hardened criminal and nothing else

The more ome hears/reads about this ambulance purchase the more puzzled one gets, a never ending saga like the ex-COCOBOD CEO, Opuni’s case.
I do remember Akufo Addo keeping over 200 ambulances ordered by his govt also waiting for the remaining batch to join the fleet of 309 or so b4 commissioning the lot together. It appears that is the general condition for govt procurements so why should it be any different in this case? As one follows this this case carefully it becomes apparent that there is persecution going on here, just like in the Opuni’s case. Richar Jakpa’s pronouncements in court yesterday may jolly well be true. Akufo Addo said Godfred Dame is a product of his law chambers. I believe that Dame was inducted into how Akufo Addo operated as the Attorney General in his days as the Minister of Justice. One can understand the stitching up of innocent people that went on that time, Tsikata comes to mind. Judgement day await all of us, some here on earth and in the after life for others!
