The Minority in Parliament has served notice it will abstain from parliamentary sittings on days that Assin North Member of Parliament James Gyakye Quayson will be going to court.
Dr. Casssiel Ato Forson, the side’s leader, explained that the move is in solidarity with the MP, who is currently in court facing criminal charges, including perjury.
He stated that they will accompany their colleague to court whenever the court sits and will not participate in the house’s business.
“We wish to serve notice that the entire Minority will accompany our colleague today and any other days that he is to appear in court. We are solidarising with our colleague and we will not participate in the business of the House anytime our colleague is in court and we will be withdrawing from the Chamber after this ceremony if the court processes happen today.”
“The people of Assin North have sent a clear message to all politicians and the government of the day especially, that they cannot be lured with money, not be intimidated by threats and it is the same message that Ghanaians are sending to us that in the year 2024, they will exercise their franchise based on their conscience and no amount of threats will dissuade them from voting out the administration that we are witnessing.”
He made the remarks at the swearing-in ceremony of the Assin North MP on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.
