What was the point? You could see that it was clearly his intent. I\u2019m hearing that he said to Jakpa that the former finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta and President Akufo-Addo, are pressuring him and he has to do something, hell no. I believe this story 100%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think Jakpa manufactured the tape, Jakpa is not a stupid man. I\u2019m tempted to believe Jakpa more than the Attorney General right now, there\u2019s nothing that the AG will say that I will believe him ever again. At this juncture, Jakpa rules. Jakpa might have asked at a point why are you determined to jail this guy [Ato Forson].<\/p>\n<p>He questioned the continued presence of the Attorney General in his position, describing the issue as a \u201cgrave matter\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Cudjoe urged those attempting to defend the Attorney General to cease their actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome are saying he hasn\u2019t done anything wrong, some are defending him, let\u2019s stop this. Your Minister of Justice is actually coaching someone to fabricate a story in order to jail somebody else. Why? He told Jakpa to secure a fake medical excuse, that\u2019s even damning, really?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re getting to an election, people think this is an election matter, it is not, this is a grave matter, a very damning matter and I\u2019m surprised the gentleman is still at post,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Jakpa under cross-examination noted that the Attorney General had been calling him at odd hours to get a testimony against the Minority Leader.<\/p>\n<p>This has since generated conversations among Ghanaians with some persons calling for the resignation of the Attorney General, Godfred Dame.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ato Forson, a former Deputy Finance Minister and current Minority Leader, is facing trial for his alleged role in the procurement of faulty ambulances for Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) played a 16-minute tape of a conversation between the Attorney General and Jakpa. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dismissed the allegations in the audio, describing it as \u201cdoctored and manipulated to achieve a malicious intent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jakpa\u2019s legal team has applied to the court, requesting that the charges against him be dropped or, alternatively, that the proceedings be halted.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Attorney General (AG), Godfred Yeboah Dame, has submitted an affidavit contesting the application by the third defendant in the ambulance case, Richard Jakpa, who is seeking to have charges against him dismissed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2014-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Founder and President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has dismissed claims that the 3rd accused in the Ambulance case, Richard Jakpa, doctored the leaked tape involving him and the Attorney General, Godfred Dame.
