Audio By Carbonatix
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dismissed as doctored, the tape recording presented by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) seeking to corroborate allegations that the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame has been unethical in his prosecution of Jakpa and two others in the Ambulance procurement case.
The NDC says the audio recording is a conversation between the third accused person (Richard Jakpa) and the Attorney-General.
Richard Jakpa last week claimed that the Attorney-General had urged him to falsify his testimony against Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson to aid the case against him.
But according to the NPP, the alleged conversation between Mr Jakpa and Mr Dame was fabricated by the NDC.
“The alleged conversation is supposed to last for 26 minutes, the NDC scheme to play only 16 minutes. The question is where is the rest of the tape.”
Addressing the press on Tuesday, May 28, in response to the NDC's revelations, NPP legal practitioner, Frank Davies stated that the tape contained repetitions, overlaps, and voice distortions.
He claimed that the NDC had spent the past days manipulating the alleged tape they played.
“It is no wonder that even this afternoon, instead of commencing the press conference at 2, they had to wait till about 3:00 because they were still doctoring. We haven’t doctored, we are presenting to you the facts as they are,” he said.
Mr Davies argued that the Attorney-General never requested the third accused to falsify any evidence in the prosecution's favour, even in the alleged doctored tape produced by the NDC.
“You all heard the tape - where did the Attorney-General lure the third accused person to profer evidence against the first accused? With the load of evidence before the court, how can the Attorney-General?”
