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

This 2:1 ruling reversed an earlier decision by the trial court that had mandated Dr. Forson and Jakpa to present their defense.

The charges against them involved allegedly causing a financial loss of €2.37 million to the state through a deal for procuring ambulances for the Government of Ghana.

In the 2:1 verdict, Justice Alex Poku Acheampong, who presided, was in dissent, while Justices Kweku Tawiah ACKAH-Boafo and Philip Bright Mensah supported the accused's pleas.

Attached is a certified copy of the Court of Appeal’s judgment. The Attorney General has announced plans to appeal the court's decision.
