'Lack of knowledge or interest' - CDS explains what warranted military release of Jakpa
The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Lieutenant General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, has clarified the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the ongoing ambulance trial. According to Lieutenant General Oppong-Peprah, Jakpa was released from the military due to a continuous lack of knowledge or interest in his duties. During his testimony in court, Lieutenant General Oppong-Peprah emphasized that the decision to discharge Jakpa was not taken lightly. He stressed that Jakpa's persistent inability to demonstrate the necessary expertise and commitment to his role in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) ultimately led to his dismissal. "The said former officer of the military, Richard Jakpa, was released based on lack of knowledge or interest," he told the court.

During discussions on the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values, 2021, Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, expressed his skepticism about the effectiveness of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), referring to its creation as an "act in futility."
