The National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, widely known as Nana B, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, and his party for their comments regarding the Court of Appeal’s decision in the ambulance case.
This criticism comes after the third accused in the ambulance procurement trial, Richard Jakpa, and Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson, were acquitted and discharged of the charges of causing financial loss to the State on Tuesday, July 30.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Mahama praised the court’s decision to acquit and discharge the former Deputy Finance Minister, calling it a victory for the rule of law.
He expressed satisfaction with the court’s ruling, suggesting it confirmed his belief that the case was a form of political persecution.
This decision has been celebrated by Minority MPs, who have consistently supported Dr Forson throughout the trial.
However, Nana B also in a Facebook post on Wednesday, criticized the NDC and Mahama for praising the judiciary when the decision favoured them, accusing them of double standards.
He described their actions as “regrettable” and detrimental to democracy.
Nana B expressed hope that, the NDC and Mahama would not change their stance if the Supreme Court were to reverse the Court of Appeal’s decision.
