Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, has reacted to the ruling by the Appeals Court on the matter involving him and two others on the procurement of faulty ambulances for the State.
In a post made on his X following the ruling, the Ajumako Enyan Essiam Member of Parliament made a quotation from the Bible indicating God is not an unjust God.
“Romans 9:14, What, then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!” he said in his post.

The Appeals Court on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, upheld an application of no case filed by first accused, Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson.
The order for Dr. Ato Forson to open his defence by the court in the ongoing ambulance purchase trial has been set aside by the Court of Appeal meaning the MP’s submission of no case has been upheld.
This decision overturned the previous order from the trial court, which required Dr. Ato Forson to present his defense.
The Court of Appeal’s ruling sets aside the trial court’s directive, delivered by Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botwe, which had dismissed Ato Forson’s submission of no case.
Dr. Ato Forson had argued that there was no case for him to answer, but this submission was initially rejected by the trial judge.
The Court of Appeal’s decision now upholds Dr Ato Forson’s submission.
As a result, Dr. Ato Forson is no longer required to open his defense in the ongoing trial, marking a significant development in the case.
Meanwhile, the High Court says it is not hearing the case in light of the decision of the Court of Appeal.
