Ambulance Case: Daily hearings heeded to expedite trial, Says Tuah-Yeboah
Not only the broadcast, we are also looking at day-to-day hearing so that we can get to the end of this matter as soon as possible. The broadcast, if possible, may have to go with day-to-day hearing so that we can get to the end of this matter,” Tuah-Yeboah emphasized.
Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah is advocating for a day-to-day hearing in the ongoing ambulance trial.
This request follows a petition by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the primary defendant, to the Chief Justice for the remainder of the proceedings to be televised, amidst recent allegations of misconduct against Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame.
Deputy Attorney General Tuah-Yeboah stated that while his office does not oppose the live broadcast request, it should be paired with daily hearings to expedite the trial.
“In fact, the AG had indicated at a different forum that when it comes to public interest matters or matters where the public has that kind of interest, it will be in the interest of justice that such proceedings are broadcast live on television and radio, so we don’t have any objection to the request, but as I said, the Chief Justice has the final say.
“Not only the broadcast, we are also looking at day-to-day hearing so that we can get to the end of this matter as soon as possible. The broadcast, if possible, may have to go with day-to-day hearing so that we can get to the end of this matter,” Tuah-Yeboah emphasized.
