The Minority in Parliament has expressed dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court’s decision to expel Mr James Gyakye Quayson from the House and remove his name from the House’s records.
According to the Minority, the decision is a slap in the face to Ghana’s democracy and rule of law.
In a statement, the Minority argued that the laws of Ghana only prohibit people from performing their functions as members of parliament if they still have dual citizenship.
However, “It is important to place on record that as at the time of his election, Hon. James Gyakye Quayson was not a dual citizen, neither was he a dual citizen as at the time he took the oath of office as a Member of Parliament,” the statement said.
“While we are yet to study the reasoning of the court in making its decision, it appears to be a slap in the face of our democracy and the rule of law. We shall inform the public of our position upon reviewing the reasoning of the Court in arriving at its decision. We urge our rank and file to be calm while we pursue all legal avenues to ensure that justice is served.”
