What Cassiel Ato Forson said after the Appeals court upheld his submission of No Case

Minority Leader, Cassiel Ato Forson has reacted to the court ruling that has dismissed a case brought against him by the state.

He tweeted, “Romans 9: 14 What, then shall we say ? is God unjust ? Not at all!”.

A Court of Appeal has upheld Minority Leader, Cassiel Ato Forson’s submission of no case in the ambulance scandal.

The High Court in March 2023 ordered Dr Cassiel Ato Forson to open his defence after the Attorney General’s office established prima facie against the former deputy finance minister in the 2.37 million Euro ambulance case.

Two others, Seth Anemana, a former Chief of Director, Ministry of Health, and Richard Jakpa, a businessman, who were standing trial with Dr Forson were also directed to open defence.

The Minority leader and the two were variously charged with willfully causing financial loss to the state to the tune of 2.37 million Euros in the purchase of ambulances, which could not be used for their intended performance.

However, the lawyers of Dr Ato Forson filed a submission of no case after the prosecution closed its case but in its ruling on March 30, 2023, the presiding judge, Justice Afia Serwah Asare Botwe indicated that the accused persons should open their defence.

But a ruling on July 30, 2024, indicated that the High Court’s decision should be set aside since “the prosecution failed to establish sufficient evidence. The trial judge erred in calling on A1(Dr Cassiel Ato Forson) to open his defence. No positively proven facts.
