- Allegation of orchestrated campaign
- Revelations during cross-examination
- Disclosure of AG's efforts
Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the NDC, has alleged that Attorney General Godfred Dame is orchestrating a campaign to incarcerate Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson at any cost in the ongoing ambulance case.
Gyamfi made this revelation following the cross-examination of the third accused person, Richard Jakpa, during the continuation of the ambulance case on Thursday, May 23.
Addressing the media after Thursday’s court session, Gyamfi disclosed the purported efforts by the AG, including calls made to the third accused person at unusual hours, all aimed at obtaining damning testimony against the Minority Leader.
“We have repeatedly explained why we believe Hon Ato Forson is innocent and why this case is unnecessary. The minority leader has presented his case and concluded it. Currently, the third accused is being cross-examined by lawyers representing the minority leader, who is the first accused,” Gyamfi stated.
“We were present in court to observe the proceedings, but we were deeply shocked when, during cross-examination, the third accused revealed to the court that the Attorney General had been contacting him, both over the phone and in person. He disclosed that the Attorney-General had urged him to provide false testimony to the court, aligning it with the AG’s position against the first accused, with the intention of securing a conviction and imprisonment. He made these allegations in open court.”
