Hon. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, the Minority Leader in the Ghanaian Parliament, has been acquitted and discharged by the Court of Appeal in connection with the controversial ambulance case. The ruling marks a significant development in a legal battle that has garnered considerable public and political interest.
The case, which has been a focal point of legal and political discourse, saw the Court of Appeal overturning an earlier decision by the trial court. Initially, the trial court had directed Hon. Ato Forson to open his defense, a decision which has now been set aside by the appellate court. This pivotal ruling effectively nullifies the previous court order and marks a critical juncture in the ongoing legal proceedings.
The case had seen attempts by Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government trying in a way to prosecute Ato Forson. However, these efforts have been rejected by the Court of Appeal, which upheld Forson’s acquittal and discharge.
The reactions from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) fraternity, to which Hon. Ato Forson belongs, have been swift and enthusiastic. In past few minutes, members of the NDC have taken to various platforms to express their satisfaction with the Court of Appeal’s verdict.
The NDC’s response reflects a broader sense of relief and celebration within the party, as they view the acquittal as a vindication of their stance and a rebuke to the opposing government’s actions.
