Managing editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Junior has reacted to the attorney general's filing of case against former deputy finance minister, Cassiel Ato Forson.
The attorney general's office filed a case against former finance minister, Cassiel Ato Forson and two others for causing financial loss to the state in the purchase of ambulances during the Mills/Mahama administration.
Reacting to the issue on Good Morning Ghana on Pan African TV, Mr. Pratt indicated that although he demands the law to bite offenders, the timing of the prosecution of Cassiel Ato Forson is interesting.
"What Ato Forson was supposed to be prosecuted for happened six years ago, why now? Is it designed to intimidate? If it is not designed to intimidate, then why now?"
He said Ato Forson cannot be insulated from prosecutions if he has breached the law but the timing is quite suspicious.
Mr. Pratt called for transparency in the dealings of government to enhance Ghana's democracy.
