A private legal practitioner Mr Kwame Jantuah has told Attorney General Godfred Dame to file a nolle prosequi in the criminal trial of the Assin North Member of Parliament-elect James Gyakye Quayson.
Mr Jantuah said that if Mr Gyakye Quayson is jailed by the court, the people of Assin North will not forgive the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
“I think the Attorney General should file a nolle prosequi in this case, he should discontinue this case. Do you think the people in the constituency will forgive the NPP if Gyakye Quayson is jailed?
“This constituency is nobody’s stronghold, so the NPP should go back to the ground and engage the voters.”
Meanwhile, Mr Gyakye Quayson is appealing a High Court ruling to have his criminal case heard on a daily basis.
The Court presided over by Justice Mary Yanzuh on Friday, June 23 dismissed an application by lawyers of Mr Gyakye Quayson to have a hearing on the case varied.
The ruling implied the MP would from Tuesday, July 4, when the hearing begins, appear in court daily irrespective of his status as a lawmaker.
He also cites the ruling as a breach of Mr Gyakye Quayson’s right to a fair trial.
