The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed dissatisfaction with what the party describes as attempts by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government to persecute the Minority Leader, Cassiel Ato Forson, in relation to the ambulance trial.
This comes on the back of the third accused person in the ambulance trial, Richard Jakpa, who alleged that Attorney-General Godfred Dame Yeboah had engaged him severally at odd hours to help him implicate Minority Leader and former Deputy Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
A statement issued on Thursday, May 23, and signed by the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, indicated that the party will stop at nothing to pursue the case to its reasonable conclusion.
“The NDC is deeply scandalised by this clear case of persecution against the Leader of the party’s Caucus in Parliament who has been at the forefront of our struggle against the misrule of the oppressive and despotic Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP regime.
“This revelation goes to confirm legitimate and long-held suspicion of the devious modus operandi of Godfred Dame and the government he represents.
“It further shows the desperate lengths the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government will go to manipulate judicial processes to unjustly victimise political opponents for cheap political goal-scoring. It also confirms the lack of integrity of the dishonourable Attorney-General and the extent to which he goes to pervert the course of justice,” portions of the statement read.
Meanwhile, the party has served notice that it will hold a full-blown press conference early next week and put out “incontrovertible evidence on this matter” that, according to the NDC, “will shock the nation.”
