NDC Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has directed his legal team to petition the Chief Justice for the live broadcast of all upcoming proceedings in the Ambulance Trial. This decision stems from a strong belief in the fundamental principles of transparency and open justice, essential for maintaining a fair and impartial legal system.
Expressing deep concern over the allegations levelled against the Attorney-General, Dr Forson underscored the potential implications on public trust and the integrity of the judicial system if the allegations are substantiated. He emphasized the importance of allowing the public to witness the trial proceedings firsthand to ensure accountability and restore confidence in the legal process.
“In the wake of the recent exposé concerning the alleged misconduct of the Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, I have instructed my lawyers to petition the Chief Justice for the live broadcast of all subsequent proceedings in the Ambulance Trial. This request is motivated by a deep commitment to transparency and open justice, principles that are fundamental to a fair and impartial legal system.” Dr. Forson posted on X.
Dr. Forson outlined several key advantages of live broadcasting the trial, including providing citizens with full access to evidence and arguments presented in court, promoting transparency and accountability within the legal system, and serving as a deterrent against future misconduct.
