The legal counsel to the Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson’s legal team has confidently asserted his innocence following a Court of Appeal decision that acquitted him and a businessman, Richard Jakpa of charges related to the Ambulance Case.

The case, which alleged a €2.37 million loss to the state in an ambulance procurement deal, saw the Court of Appeal overturning the previous ruling that required Dr. Forson and Jakpa to present their defense.

Justices Kweku Tawiah Ackah-Boafo and Philip Bright Mensah delivered a 2-1 verdict in favor of acquittal, with Justice Alex Poku Acheampong dissenting.

Despite Attorney General Godfred Dame's dissatisfaction with the decision, claiming it disregards the prosecution’s evidence, Dr. Forson’s lead counsel, Edudzi Tameklo, remains optimistic.

Mr Tameklo emphasized his belief in Dr. Forson's innocence, expressing confidence that any further appeals would only reinforce their case.

In a recent interview with JoyNews, Tameklo reiterated his relief and conviction, stating,"I’ve always believed in the innocence of my client [Dr Cassiel Ato Forson] and I can tell you, whether Supreme Court or Antoa or Nogokpo, my client will he vindicated,"

The Court of Appeal’s decision marks the end of the contentious Ambulance Case.
