Member of Parliament (MP) for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam, Cassiel Ato Forson, has reacted to a suit by the Attorney- General (AG), accusing him of causing financial loss to the state.
The former Deputy Finance Minister says he will not be distracted by what he has described as machinations of the state.
According to him, the suit is a result of his opposition to the “repressive policies” of the incumbent government.
Mr Forson and two others; a former Chief Director of the Ministry of Health; Sylvester Anemana, and a businessman; Richard Jakpa, are alleged to have cost the state to lose €2.37 million.
The AG has dragged them to the Accra High Court on five counts of wilfully causing financial loss to the state, abetment to wilfully causing financial loss to the state, contravention of the Public Procurement Act, and intentionally misapplying public property.
