Afenyo-Markin to Ato Forson: Don't take the prosecution of the ambulance trial personally.

Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has been advised by Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin not to take the prosecution of the ambulance trial personally.

This follows Dr. Forson's denunciation of his prosecution, which he described as a deliberate and baseless attempt to scare him into compliance and suppress his dissenting voice.

In a transaction to purchase ambulances for Ghana from 2014 to 2016, Dr. Forson and businessman Richard Jakpa were charged with causing the state to lose €2.37 million.

However, the Court of Appeal overturned a previous ruling requiring them to open their defense and acquitted and dismissed both men. Plans to appeal the ruling have been made public by the Attorney General.

Dr. Forson described the accusations against him as politically motivated and intended to further partisan objectives during his Monday, January 6 speech in Parliament. In order to damage his reputation and weaken his standing as a key opposition figure against corruption, he charged Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame of orchestrating a campaign of "malicious prosecution."

Afenyo-Markin replied that it was crucial to let the past go in the past and encouraged Dr. Forson to put the trial behind him and concentrate on the future.

In response to my esteemed colleague Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, I would want to state that he shouldn't take it personally. I understand how things are, but if you give everyone a chance to share their tale, you could realize that others have had more difficult circumstances," said Afenyo-Markin.

He also begged Dr. Forson to forget his complaints, telling him that the government's actions were not motivated by a desire to put him in jail at any means.

"I'll beg you to let the past remain the past. Therefore, please overlook it," he continued, "since it isn't true that this administration was wicked and that they wanted you imprisoned at all means.
