The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has formally discontinued the controversial ambulance case against Finance Minister and former Majority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, and businessman Richard Jakpa.
A notice issued by the Attorney-General's chambers on Thursday, January 23, 2025, confirmed that all further proceedings in the matter had been abandoned.
This decision follows a ruling by the Court of Appeal, which acquitted and discharged Dr Ato Forson and Richard Jakpa in a 2:1 majority decision.
The court overturned an earlier order by the trial court that had required the two to open their defence.
