Ambulance case: Prosecution of Ato Forson incompetent, needless – Bright Simons

Bright Simons, Vice President of IMANI-Africa, has criticised the prosecution of Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson in the ongoing ambulance case, describing the trial as “useless” and incompetent.

Dr Forson, a former Deputy Finance Minister and two others are on trial for allegedly causing financial loss to the state through the importation of 30 ambulances.

This forms part of a 2012 contract between the Ministry of Health and Dubai-based firm, Big Sea Limited, for the purchase of the ambulances.

The prosecution claims Dr Forson issued letters of credit without authorisation from his then boss, Finance Minister Seth Terkper.

However, Mr Terkper testified in court that he did indeed authorise Dr Forson to establish the letters of credit.

Despite this testimony, the case continues, with the third accused, Richard Jakpa, currently being cross-examined.

Mr Simons has taken to social media, posting on X on Saturday, May 25, to voice his opinion on the matter.

Mr Simons believes the case is an attempt to silence the Minority in Parliament.

He insists that letters of credit are not payments themselves but guarantees to honour or refuse payment based on whether certain conditions are met.

“I’ve racked my brains for eons & still can’t understand why this fact so obvious to every business person isn’t clear to Ghana’s Attorney General. The case against the Minority Leader in Ghana’s Parliament for authorising an LC is INCOMPETENT. Not just bcos of this MP’s point.”

“But more importantly because of what an LC is. An LC is not a simple instruction to pay. It is a guarantee to honor or REFUSE payment if CERTAIN CONDITIONS are met/NOT MET. This is a pure political prosecution to muzzle the opposition in Parliament. Luckily, it isn’t working,” he posted.

“I’ve racked my brains for eons & still can’t understand why this fact so obvious to every business person isn’t clear to Ghana’s Attorney General. The case against the Minority Leader in Ghana’s Parliament for authorising an LC is INCOMPETENT. Not just bcos of this MP’s point” Bright Simons posted on X(formerly Twitter)
