The third accused person in the ongoing ambulance purchase trial, Richard Jakpa, has dared the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, to appear in court and deny the allegations he has levelled against him.
According to him, the case ought to be tried in court, not in the public domain.
Speaking exclusively to Accra-based Joy News ahead of today’s court proceedings, Jakpa challenged anyone disputing the authenticity of the leaked tape to produce theirs to counter his.
He emphasised that the allegations he has raised are serious and should be addressed within the legal framework.
“He lAG] should come to court and come and refute the allegations and set the records according to his opinion straight and the way it is supposed to be. I have done mine in court, and I am expecting him to come and do his part. The case is in court and not in public opinion,” he said.
Mr Jakpa has accused the Attorney-General of witness tampering and fabricating evidence, claims which are captured in a phone conversation that has been publicised.
Richard Jakpa, under cross-examination in the ambulance case, revealed that Mr Dame had been contacting him at odd hours to implicate the Minority Leader.
This revelation has caused huge public uproar on mainstream and social media with a section of the populace demanding the resignation of Attorney General Godfred Dame.
