The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, expressed his dissatisfaction with the High Court’s decision to hear the case of James Gyakye Quayson, the Member of Parliament-elect for Assin North, on a daily basis.
An Accra High Court presided over by Justice Mary Yanzuh, ruled that the trial of NDC’s James Gyakye Quayson will be heard on a daily basis starting from July 4, 2023. The court ruled that its June 16 order announcing this arrangement was within the law and a case for a review had not been made.
But speaker Alban S.K Bagbin described the decision as selective, pointing out that it is unfair to subject Gyakye Quayson to a daily trial while others are not facing the same treatment.
During a visit to the office of Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) in Accra on Thursday, 29th June 2023, Bagbin emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and stated that the current approach seems to be “rule by law” rather than “rule of law.
