The Central Regional fraternity of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have staged a defence against the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame in an accusation of his bias stance in the lawsuit of Hon. Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the minority leader and Member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam over his procured ambulance saga.

NDC in the Central Region bemoans the fact that Hon. Ato Forson is being unfairly targeted by the Attorney General to satisfy his selfish gains, therefore, calls on him to demonstrate neutrality in the ongoing trial.

Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu, the Central Regional Chairman of the NDC addressing the media in a presser at the party's Regional Headquarters in Cape Coast, expressed shock over a revelation by the trial's third accused, Richard Jakpa who before the court on Thursday, alleged the Attorney General to have been calling him in odd hours to sabotage the system in order to have the minority leader jailed.

According to the Region's NDC Chairman, following the unlikely turn of event in the trial, the party's Central Regional fraternity will in its full capacity support Hon. Ato Forson to the last limit and remarked that all party supporters in the Region will storm the court to rally behind the minority leader whenever he appears before the court to ensure that justice is served per merit of the case.

Lawyer Joyce Bawah Mogtari, a former Deputy Transport Minister, member of the NDC legal team and the special aide to John Mahama on the Ato Forson trial, recounted him to be unlawfully suffocated politically for his vociferous nature.

She outlined witness tampering to be a serious crime everywhere in the world and called for a mistrial over the Attorney General's manipulation to the trial which defeats the just and fairness of the case.
