The Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has described the 2-1 decision of the Court of Appeal to acquit and discharge Dr Ato Forson and Richard Jakpa as “grossly unfair to the nation and inimical to the fight against impunity and abuse in public office.”
To this end, he said the Office of the Attorney General will file an appeal at the Supreme Court to reverse the decision.
In a statement issued and signed by Godfred Dame on Tuesday, July 30 said the decision was “erroneous.”
“The Office of the Attorney-General considers the decision of the Court of Appeal grossly unfair to the nation and inimical to the fight against impunity and abuse in public office.
“The Office will promptly file an appeal in order to erase the effect of this erroneous decision of the Court of Appeal,” the AG stated.
