The Deputy Attorney General, Alfred Tuah Yeboah, announced plans to appeal the recent court decision acquitting two lead suspects in the controversial ambulance case.
Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Tuesday, Yeboah confirmed that the appeal is in progress and will be filed soon.
"We are still reviewing the judgement, but once filed, the media will be promptly informed," he stated.
Mr Tuah Yeboah criticised the court's judgement, citing "fundamental flaws" that led to a "grave miscarriage of justice."
He stated that the appeal will focus on legal errors that the appellate court allegedly made, urging the Supreme Court to overturn the decision.
On Tuesday, the Court of Appeal, in a 2:1 decision, acquitted Majority Leader Dr. Casiel Ato Forson and businessman Richard Jakpa.
The court's ruling overturned a trial court order requiring them to defend against charges of causing a €2.37 million financial loss to the state in an ambulance procurement deal.
While Justice Alex Poku Acheampong dissented, Justices Kweku Tawiah Ackah-Boafo and Philip Bright Mensah ruled in favour of the accused.
Attorney General Godfred Dame condemned the ruling as "perverse" and contrary to the substantial evidence presented by the prosecution, arguing that it undermines public accountability and the rule of law.

However, Dr. Forson's lawyer, Godwin Edudzi Tamekloe, has expressed unwavering belief in his client's innocence and confidence in his ultimate vindication.
Mr Tamekloe said he is confident in Dr Ato Forson's ultimate vindication, regardless of any challenges to the ruling by the AG.
