Dr. Dominic Ayine, a former deputy attorney general, has indicated that the audio recording of a conversation between the third accused person, Richard Jakpa, and the AG, Godfred Yeboah-Dame, in the ongoing ambulance case against Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson should serve as a basis for additional investigation.

On Tuesday, May 28, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) made public an audio recording that it claimed was intended to pressure Mr. Jakpa into naming Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

In an interview with Citi News, Dr. Ayine emphasized that certain constitutional principles underscore the necessity for a comprehensive investigation.

“I would not want to comment on possible charges. Of course, I wouldn’t want in any manner to prejudice anything that will be done in the future.

“However, it was mentioned at the press conference that there is a possible criminal breach of the sections of the Criminal and Other Offenses Act for dealing with the falsification of evidence and the fabrication of evidence, and I think it is Sections 213 and 214, and I think that the tape provides a potential basis for further investigations in order to bring a prosecution under those particular Sections.”
