The Health Minister, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, on Tuesday submitted in excess of 10 bits of proof against previous Deputy Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, and two others.
This is with respect to the case in which Dr Forson and two others are being blamed for making monetary misfortune the state in the acquirement of ambulances.
Mr Agyeman-Manu is the fourth of the Attorney General's five observers to be depended upon for the situation.
The Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, drove the Minister of Health to give proof to the court. Mr Agyeman-Manu followed his insight into the embarrassment from his experience as Chairman of the Health Committee for the then approaching government's progress group.
He let the Court know that he saw a few ambulances which had gone through different cycles and were normal by the service, had still not been conveyed.
"I was selected as Chairman of the Transition Committee on Health after change over of government. During the change thoughts, it came to my notification that ambulances were evidently obtained by the Ministry of Health yet had not been conveyed. Later after change, I was selected as considerable Minister of Health. "My giving over notes demonstrated the absence of ambulances. So I became keen on the ambulances that had still not been conveyed to the Ministry."
Mr Agyeman-Manu then, at that point, introduced a few records to the Court to show what his inquiry regarding this situation uncovered.
These records incorporated a proposition from money manager Richard Dzakpa to the Health Ministry for the inventory of 200 ambulances, a letter from bureau to the then clergymen of Health and Finance, demonstrating endorsement to get a credit office of €15.8 million from Stanbic Bank Ghana. Likewise submitted to the Court was a solicitation from the two services for parliamentary endorsement.
Proof of this parliamentary endorsement was likewise given with one more letter from the Ministry of Health endorsed by one more blamed individual, Seth Animana, to the Public Procurement Authority (PPA).
In the letter to the PPA, the Health Ministry was looking for an endorsement to single source the obtainment of the 200 ambulances to an organization by name Big Sea General Limited. The PPA is said to have written to request further subtleties on the agreement from the Ministry of Health. Mr. Manu said the Ministry answered that Big Sea was persuasive in government getting a credit from Stanbic Bank, consequently the solicitation.
Be that as it may, Mr. Manu, demands there is no proof moving the supposed job of Big Sea in getting the advance.
"The parliamentary endorsement was for the supporting understanding and no prerequisite of sole obtaining to Big Sea. What I can say is the way that I have not located report of such nature at the Ministry suggesting this specific passage that was being utilized to legitimize the single source letter for Big Sea General.
"What this passage is talking about is that this organization, alluding to Big Sea General Trading, organized financing for this task. Acquiring 200 ambulances. There is no proof that shows that the game plan for the financing was finished by Big Sea."
Mr Agyeman-Manu then, at that point, zoomed into the agreement that was finished paperwork for the stockpile of the ambulances.
He made sense of that the agreement marked had clear timetables which have since not been followed.
