Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the central figure in the ongoing ambulance procurement trial, has taken a significant step by directing his legal team to request the Chief Justice to broadcast the rest of the trial proceedings.
This strategic move aims to ensure transparency and public scrutiny of the case, particularly in light of recent controversies.
On Thursday, May 30, Dr. Forson’s lawyers submitted a formal letter to the Chief Justice, detailing the reasons behind this request. By making the trial accessible to the public through television, they hope to foster a sense of openness and accountability within the judicial process.
Dr. Forson elaborated on this decision in a social media post, citing recent allegations of misconduct against Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame as a driving factor. He believes that televising the proceedings will help dispel any doubts about the fairness and integrity of the trial, thereby upholding justice.
