The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine has discontinued the controversial ambulance case against former Majority Leader and now Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, and businessman Richard Jakpa, the third accused.
This was contained in a notice issued by the Attorney-General's chambers on Thursday, January 23, 2025.
This comes after the Court of Appeal acquitted and discharged Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, and Richard Jakpa, the 3rd accused in the ambulance case.

The court in a 2:1 decision overturned the previous order from the trial court, which required Dr Ato Forson and Jakpa to open their defence.
The case, which involved allegations of causing a financial loss of €2.37 million to the state in a deal to procure ambulances for the Government of Ghana, has now been dropped.
The notice acknowledged that it has previously been served notice of appeal against the judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal on July 30, 2024.
It however stated that the Republic does not intend to pursue the appeal further.
"..But that the republic abandons all further proceedings with respect to this matter as from the date of this notice," it added.
