The office of the Attorney-General has expressed its indifference to the High Court’s decision to admit an audio recording between Richard Jakpa and Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame as evidence in the ongoing ambulance trial.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, June 13, the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, stated that although the AG’s office opposed the admission of the recording, they are not perturbed by its inclusion in the case.
He noted that the content of the audio is already in the public domain.
Presiding Judge Justice Afia Serwah Asare-Botwe admitted the recording into evidence, citing fairness and the potential relevance of electronic evidence in the prosecution’s case.
The audio recording has been a point of contention in the trial, with the AG’s office initially opposing its admission.
However, the court has deemed it necessary for the case, and the Deputy AG has indicated that they will not contest its inclusion further.
