I POCKETED €700K FROM €2.37M AMBULANCE DEAL – Jakpa Admits In Court

Richard Jakpa, the businessman accused of causing financial loss of €2.37 million to the state in an ambulance deal with the Minority leader, Ato Forson has admitted that his company received 28.7% of the amount paid by the government to Big Sea under the Ambulance contract.

This amounts to approximately €700,000.

Mr Jakpa made this admission during cross-examination by the Attorney General (AG), Godfred Yeboah Dame.

When questioned about the Agency Agreement signed with Big Sea Limited, which entitled him to 10% of all monies paid under the Ambulance Contract, Mr Jakpa responded,”That is so but it is not my total entitlement. I was entitled to more by other clauses under the Agreement”.

Mr. Dame further pressed, “Out of the about €2.3 million paid by the Government to Big Sea under the Ambulance Contract, you and Jakpa at Business earned 28.7% of it. In fact, about €700,000 was paid to you.”

Jakpa stated “Yes, that was the amount paid to Jakpa at Business as an Agent”.
