The Minority in
Parliament has once again boycotted business activities in Parliament in
support of the trial of James Gyakye Quayson, the Member of Parliament for
Assin North.
The High Court
in Accra is set to deliver a ruling on the application for a stay of
proceedings in the case involving the legislator, who is facing charges of
forgery and perjury.
Lawyers
representing the embattled MP have submitted a request for the court to halt
proceedings, allowing the Court of Appeal to review the trial judge’s decision
to conduct the case on a daily basis.
In a show of
solidarity, the Minority caucus has decided to forgo Parliamentary proceedings
and accompany their fellow member to the court.
This is the
second time Minority MPs have abandoned Parliamentary work to accompany their
colleague in Parliament.
According to the
caucus, the trial of Mr Gyakye Quayson is unfair and must be dropped by the
Attorney General and Minister for Justice.
