I have never applied for plea bargain in €2.3 million ambulance case – Ato Forson

Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson has refuted claims that he applied for a plea bargain in the ongoing €2.3 million ambulance case against him.

Full Statement Below 

My attention has been drawn to a reportage attributed to the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Alfred Tuah Yeboah claiming that I have sought a plea bargain arrangement with the Office of the Attorney-General.

This claim is false, wicked and evil and is intended to incite public prejudice against me and undermine my the right to fair trial.

I wish to state, that I have not, at any point in time, approached any one or authority to consider or discuss the said plea bargain that has been attributed to me.

I hereby request that the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, and CitiNewsroom.com, take appropriate steps to correct this false reportage immediately.

Signed.

Cassiel Ato Forson (Phd), MP
Minority Leader
