In a strong condemnation, Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson has accused the Attorney General of orchestrating a "calculated and baseless" prosecution against him, aimed at silencing his vocal criticism of the government.
Forson, who has been a persistent critic of the current administration, asserted that his prosecution was a politically motivated attempt to quash his dissent and intimidate him into submission. "I want to make it clear," Forson stated in an emotional address, "that my recent prosecution, or call it persecution, by the Attorney General over frivolous and trumped-up charges was calculated to intimidate and silence a known dissenting voice.
My crime?
I sounded the alarm on an economy that was being mismanaged and ruined by a select few in government." Forson, who has been a key figure in opposing the government's policies, particularly its handling of the national economy, believes the timing of his prosecution is not a coincidence.
