It is baffling that Supreme Court could direct the removal of James Gyakye Quayson from Parliament

The Minority Caucus in Parliament has expressed shock at the ruling of the Supreme Court on James Gyakye Quayson.

Before a notice signed by the Minority Leader, Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson, the caucus indicated that “the intention of the framers of Ghana’s constitution is not to allow a dual citizen to perform the functions of a Member of Parliament.”

According to the minority, “It is baffling that the Supreme Court could direct the removal from Parliament of such a person who has been duly elected as a Member of Parliament.”

The minority, according to the notice, is yet to study the reasoning of the ruling and this appears to be a slap in the face of their democracy and the rule of law.
