Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, didn't approve the installment to Big Sea General Trading Ltd in Dubai for the stockpile of ambulances to the Ministry of Health, the arraignment witness, Edward Markwei Jr, has said.
He made sense of for the court during questioning that, past marking a letter on the power of the Minister of Finance mentioning for the foundation of letters of credit for Big Sea Ltd, Dr Forson didn't approve installment to Big Sea.
He added that the order to endorse installment under the LC was inside the command of the Ministry of Health.
Markwei Jr demonstrated further that under the states of the LC, the Ministry of Health needed to support and acknowledge documentation introduced by Big Sea and approve installment before it very well may be affected.
Dr. Ato Forson and previous Chief Director of the Ministry of Health Dr. Sylvester Anemana as well as money manager Richard Jakpa have been accused of making monetary misfortune the state over the importation of 30 ambulances that shaped piece of a transfer of 200 under an agreement endorsed between the Ministry of Health and Dubai-based firm, Big Sea Limited in 2012.
At the Financial and Economic Court in Accra directed by Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botchwey, the subsequent indictment witness noticed that without the express endorsement of the Ministry of Health and their approval, no installment could be made to Big Sea and that the assets ensured by the LC would be held by government and the LC would terminate after a specific date.
Edward Markwei Jr affirmed that the Bank of Ghana by a letter dated twentieth March, 2015 addressed to the Ministry of Health, mentioned them to support delivering records introduced by Big Sea and give endorsement for installment of the principal tranche of EUR 790,000.
He said two different installments of €790,000 each were made under a request by an Accra High Court and were not endorsed or approved by Dr Forson.
Markwei Jr focused on that his outfit never looked for or acquired endorsement from Dr Forson for installment on the grounds that the element shrouded with that authority was the Ministry of Health.
The subsequent arraignment witness had before conceded that a case contained in passage 16 of his observer explanation that Dr Forson mentioned for the foundation of "Irreversible, transferrable letters of credit" were wrong and that there was no notice of "permanent, adaptable" letters of credit in the letter endorsed by Dr Forson on seventh August, 2014.
