The petition is dated September 29, 2025 and details a series of alleged covert meetings and communications spanning the period of the case, which commenced in January 2023.
Daniel Marfo Ofori-Atta is demanding that the CID “conduct an investigation into the conduct of Justice Yonny Kulendi and his cousin, Richard Jakpa, to unravel all acts of criminality disclosed by their conduct, and take such prosecutorial action as is consistent with law”.
Also, Richard Jakpa had earlier petitioned the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to investigate former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame.
Jakpa has petitioned the CID to investigate Godfred Yeboah Dame over alleged attempts to fabricate evidence during the trial of Dr Ato Forson and two others.
The petition, which was dated July 23, 2025, was formally signed by Richard Jakpa himself. It details a phone conversation allegedly held on March 26, 2024, between Mr Jakpa and Mr Dame.
Richard Jakpa, who was the third accused person in the high-profile ambulance procurement case, which involved the now Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
According to Jakpa, Godfred Dame misconducted himself when he allegedly asked for his cooperation to incriminate Ato Forson.
In the petition, Jakpa revealed the former Attorney General wanted him to testify in a manner to incriminate Dr Ato Forson to help fast-track the conclusion of the case.
He revealed a testimony used to incriminate Dr Ato Forson, which led to a phone call placed to him by Godfred Yeboah Dame on March 26, 2024.
Jakpa stated in the petition, “In the phone conversation between the then-Attorney General and me, which I have attached to this petition, he suggested that during cross-examination I testify not based on matters personally perceived and understood by me”.
“In that telephone conversation, Godfred Dame directly engaged me on the subject of the Letters of Credit (LCs) as an Attorney-General of the Republic of Ghana”, he stated in his petition.
Jakpa added, “stated how he thought I should answer questions regarding the Letters of Credit during cross-examination contrary to my honest understanding and knowledge of how Letters of Credit work”.
According to Jakpa, he opposed Dame’s legal conspiracies even though Dame asserted that it would not bear any risk to him.
He alleged, “He further said he would be travelling out of the country and not able to be in court at the next adjourned date, and that I seek an adjournment from the court by getting an excuse duty from a hospital to the court that I was sick to allow him to be present in court before I proceed with my testimony”.
“Declined this criminal, dishonest and unethical suggestion from him as an Attorney-General then”, Jakpa wrote.
He stated that the alleged attempt by Godfred Dame for him to testify in a dishonest way to implicate Dr Ato Forson, in his opinion, constituted fabrication of evidence.
Jakpa called on the CID to investigate Dame to face the full consequences if found to be culpable, because this is very necessary.
