Godfred Dame takes over cross-examination of Jakpa in ambulance procurement trial

Attorney General Godfred Dame has taken over the cross-examination of Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the ambulance procurement trial, from his deputy Alfred Tuah-Yeboah.

Jakpa and Minority Leader of Parliament Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson are accused of causing financial loss to the state and misapplying funds, resulting in a €2.37 million loss due to defective Sprinter buses.

This marks the first time the Attorney General is directly cross-examining Jakpa, following allegations of witness-tampering.

Dame is the third state prosecutor to question Jakpa, after Tuah-Yeboah and DPP Yvonne Atakorah Obuobisa. Cross-examination is expected to conclude next Tuesday.
