Reading the Majority opinion authored by Kulendi JSC and I am wondering if it was possible for him to recuse him relative to his involvement in the Sakande case, since he was the lawyer for the late Sakande. In order to avoid any perception of revenge decision.
Because the Attorney General almost invariably believes that Sakande case is the same as this.
Is it mischief or deliberate misreading of the facts of the Sakande case?
1. Sakande(may his soul Rest In Peace) never even attempted to renounce his British or Burkinabe nationality until the issue came out.
2. He was still having the British and Burkinabe nationality even when he was still the MP.
In the case of Hon James Quayson, he took steps to renounce the Canadian nationality.
He even applied for same before the filing of nomination.
He obtained the certificate of renunciation by 26th November, 2020 before the election of December,2020.
The EC received the petition from the Concerned Citizens of Assin North and subsequently called Hon Quayson.
Upon the EC satisfying itself of the certificate of renunciation, cleared him to contest the election.
How do you without mischief compare this to the Sakande case?
You can run the system but you cannot manufacture the facts to be the same.
