The third accused in the ongoing ambulance procurement trial, Mr Richard Jakpa, on Tuesday told the High Court in Accra that the ambulances supplied to the Government of Ghana were fit for purpose.

Mr Jakpa is standing trial together with the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato, for causing €2.37 million financial loss to the state in the purchase of ambulances.

He said the allegation that he received about 50 per cent of payment for the ambulances, was unfounded, and that Big Sea was burdened by delays from the government, although the company fulfilled its side of the bargain to supply the ambulances. Dr Forson and Mr Jakpa have been accused of causing financial loss of €2.37 million to the state in a deal to purchase 200 ambulances for the country between 2014 and 2016.There was a problem processing your submission.
