Ambulance trial: The Republic vs Ato Forson & 2 others – Read full Court of Appeal judgement

The Court of Appeal on Tuesday acquitted and discharged Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson and Richard Jakpa, the third accused, in the Ambulance Case.

This 2:1 decision overturned a previous order from the trial court, which required Dr. Ato Forson and Jakpa to open their defence.

The two had been charged with allegedly causing a financial loss of €2.37 million to the state in a deal to procure ambulances for the Government of Ghana.

In the 2:1 decision, Justice Alex Poku Acheampong who presided, dissented, while Justice Kweku Tawiah ACKAH-Boafo and Justice Philip Bright Mensah granted the pleas of the accused.

Below is a certified copy of the Judgment by the Court of Appeal. The Attorney General has indicated it will appeal against the decision of the court.
