SUPREME COURT RULING AGAINST ASSIN NORTH MP UNFAIR ? MAHAMA

News

2 years ago

Former President John Dramani Mahama is unhappy with the Supreme Court’s ruling restraining beleaguered James Gyakye Quayson from carrying himself out as the Member of Parliament for Assin North.

Mr. Mahama believes the ruling is a “travesty of justice and an affront to our democracy.”

The Supreme Court on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, restrained Mr. Quayson from representing the people of Assin North until the final determination of a pending substantive case that avers that he held dual citizenship at the time of filing his nomination forms to contest in the 2020 elections contrary to law.

In a Facebook post, the former President wondered whether the Supreme Court’s ruling meant that “the substantive case had been predetermined against” the MP.

I cannot understand how an MP can be restrained from carrying out his duties when the substantive case to give finality to the question of his legitimacy has not been determined.

Or is it the case that the outcome of the substantive case has been predetermined against him?

The representation of the people is at the heart of our democracy. Any decision that denies the citizenry of representation is a travesty of justice and an affront to our democracy.
