Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame has released the full details of plea bargain letters sent to his office by the third accused, Richard Jakpa, in the ongoing ambulance purchase case.

This action comes after Jakpa claimed in open court that Godfred Dame approached him multiple times, seeking his assistance to implicate the first accused,

Dr. Ato Forson, a former Deputy Finance Minister and current Minority Leader, faces charges for his alleged role in procuring faulty ambulances for Ghana.

Dismissing Jakpa's claims, the Attorney General insisted that Jakpa had actually sent several letters requesting a plea bargain to drop all charges against the accused.

He added that the proposal has not yet been accepted.

“It is rather the third accused who, by various letters dated 27th April 2023, 16th May 2023, 30th May 2023 and 12th June 2023, has proposed to the Republic through the Attorney-General to engage in plea bargaining or plea negotiations. This plea bargaining proposal has, to date, not been accepted by the Attorney-General.

“Even though the law on plea bargaining passed by Parliament permits a prosecutor to negotiate with an accused person after a plea proposal has been made, the Attorney-General has not engaged the third accused person to give false testimony in the matter,” Dame stated.

The letters, now publicly released, provide a detailed account of Jakpa's plea bargain requests.
