Today, Tuesday, May 28, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will each have separate press conferences regarding the ambulance trial involving Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
The press conference follows claims by the third accused, Richard Jakpa, stating that he was previously approached by the Attorney General to assist in constructing a case against the former Deputy Finance Minister.
Deputy Attorney-General Alfred Tuah Yeboah, however, refuted the allegations in a statement.
According to the office, Mr. Jakpa is actually the one who has repeatedly “by various letters” “proposed to the Republic through the Attorney-General to engage in plea bargaining or plea negotiations.” The Attorney General has not yet approved this plea deal.
However, Godfred Yeboah Dame, the NDC stated that it has proof to back up Mr. Jakpa’s claims, and it will release it to the public on Tuesday.
Thus, it is anticipated that the NDC would show the footage at the press conference that National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia is slated to address at 2:00 p.m.
Additionally, private attorney Frank Davies will address the NPP during its briefing at 4 p.m.
