He is the one abusing his prosecutorial powers to silence critical political opponents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He said the AG deciding to prosecute on the matter of the purchase of ambulances was nothing short of an abuse of power because he (Ato Forson) was not a minister by the time of the endorsement of the deal to purchase the vehicles.<\/p>\n Ato Forson also stated on his Facebook page that the AG accused him of being one of the people who sent a joint memorandum for the purchase of the ambulances to cabinet which was approved on December 22, 2011. Denying the said accusation by Godfred Dame, Ato Forson said he only became a deputy minister two years after the approval of the memorandum.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Cabinet memo for the purchase of the Ambulances was submitted in December, 2011. I became a deputy minister on the 2nd of May 2013. How could I have signed a cabinet MEMO in December 2011?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n Read his full post below:<\/b><\/p>\n Ajumako Enyan Esiam\u2019s MP, Cassiel Ato Forson I wasn\u2019t a minister in 2011 how could I have endorsed a transaction by then \u2013 Ato Forson I\u2019m being prosecuted because of my position on the e-levy \u2013 MP Ato Forson accused of exposing AG to hate Ajumako Enyan Esiam\u2019s MP, Cassiel Ato Forson, has accused Ghana\u2019s […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216859,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-740644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=740644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740644\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=740644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=740644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=740644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Ajumako](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/77485402.295.jpg\" "\\"Ajumako")
