The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, has asked the Attorney-General (AG), Godfred Yeboah Dame, to withdraw the criminal proceedings against James Gyakye Quayson, the Member of Parliament-elect for Assin North.
Following the re-election of James Gyakye Quayson, he believed it was unnecessary for the AG to continue with the case.
He was speaking at the Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, and Western North regional editions of the Professor John Evans Atta Mills Commemorative Lecture in Sunyani on Saturday, July 1, 2023.
“As a matter of urgency, I [Dormaahene] am appealing to the President [Akufo-Addo], if he has any role to play, and the Attorney-General to file a nolle Prosequi to abort the criminal case against Mr. Quayson,” the traditional leader stated.
He said that the law allows the A-G to end any case in which citizens are not interested.
The Dormaahene stated that the 17,245 votes cast for Mr. Quayson, representing 57.56 percent demonstrated that the voters trusted and believed in him to be their MP.
The lecture was organised on the theme “The man John Evans Atta Mills: 10 years on.”
As part of the lecture, a 24-page book titled “Atta Mills Speaks to the World” was launched.
The book captured Prof. Mills’ statements at the 64th, 65th, and 66th General Assembly of the United Nations during his term as President.
