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.
