This revelation has injected new complexity into the legal proceedings and raised questions about the fate of Hon. Ato Forson, particularly in a political landscape where the influence of the Akuffo Addo government on trials is a topic of scrutiny.
During the court session, Seth Tekper, who served as Finance Minister under the previous government, clarified that there is no documented evidence authorizing the payment for ambulances under Hon. Ato Forson’s name. The court proceedings have intensified discussions about the role of the government in legal matters and whether political influence could impact the outcome of trials in Ghana.
