- A businessman named Richard Jakpa, who is on trial for an ambulance transaction, stated that the ambulances were unfit for use since the government had a letter telling them not to be used.
- According to Jakpa, the first ten ambulances that arrived at the dock were intended for parking rather than for usage. He said that the letter asked the Ministry of Health to move the ambulances to a secure parking area as soon as possible.
- Big Sea Trading LLC, the primary of Jakpa, was meant to hire experts to instruct government paramedics on how to operate the ambulance and its supplies.
- He rejected the prosecution’s assertion that the ambulances were no longer suitable for their intended use following a post-delivery assessment.
- Jakpa refused to say if the cabinet and parliament approved the contract governing the transaction in favor of Big Sea Trading LLC.
- During the businessman’s cross-examination, Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame questioned him on whether the government’s and Big Sea’s contract had been approved by the legislature or the cabinet.
