Jakpa subpoenas Bagbin, top military officials in ambulance trial

Richard
Jakpa,
the
third
accused
in
the
ongoing
Ambulance
case
has
filed
processes
to
compel
two
former
Health
Ministers
Alban
Bagbin
and
Alex
Segbefia
as
well
as
Chief
of
Defence
Staff
Lt.
General
Oppong
Peprah
and
others
to
testify
in
the
ongoing
trial.

Richard
Jakpa
ended
his
testimony
on
Tuesday,
July
9,
and
has
been
asked
by
the
court
to
call
his
witnesses.

Richard
Jakpa
notified
the
court
that
he
will
call
eight
witnesses
some
of
whom
are
to
be
subpoenaed.

Part
of
the
eight
to
be
subpoenaed
include
the
Speaker
of
Parliament
Alban
Bagbin
and
former
Health
Minister
Alex
Segbefia.

The
judge,
however,
noticed
that
the
order
to
subpoena
the
witnesses
did
not
include
a
request
for
documents
that
should
be
presented
by
the
witnesses.

Lawyers
for
Richard
Jakpa
in
court
on
Thursday,
however,
revealed
that
the
Chief
of
Defence
Staff
Lt.
General
Thomas
Oppong
Peprah
and
Military
Secretary
Air
Commodore
Adu
Gyamfi
are
to
be
subpoenaed
as
well.

The
case
has
been
adjourned to July 18.
