NDC Member of Parliament(MP) elect for Assin North constituency, Hon. James Gyakye Quayson has filed an appeal in the Court of Appeal, Criminal Division challenging the daily trial order made by High Court judge, Justice Mary Maame Ekue Yanzuh.
To ensure that MP-elect Gyakye Quayson gets a fair trial in the criminal case against him, his lawyers have filed an application for Stay of Proceedings pending the determination of his appeal on grounds of several errors of law committed by the trial judge which breached Quayson’s right to a fair trial.
Read attached the notice of interlocutory criminal appeal and the motion on notice for stay of proceedings pending appeal:

Look the guy has won an election but likely to end in jail like Sakande. The law must be above emotions and persons. The delay tactics will not help him . It is better he pleads for mercy than ride on legal technicalities to evade justice. Lets be honest this man has tried to be MP several times and on two occasions was rejected by the central region NDC for still holding onto his Canadian citizenship. Yes in the 2020 elections he had taken steps to renounce his Canadian citizenship but the process was not completed before he put himself forward to the EC to be elected as MP. My question is, all this while when your own party rejected you twice for holding Canadian Citizenship why didn't you complete your renunciation on time before contesting in 2020. You cannot eat your cake and have it. And instead of pleading mercy you are playing delay tactics with the courts. We cannot encourage leaders to do the wrong things and get away with it because of emotions. He may be liked by the Assin North people but the law must be above all
Delay tactics will not work. Justice must be served. This guy and his lawyers are exploiting loopholes to delay justices. Appeals Court must set an example to deter this costly exercise by giving judgement within 2 weeks.
This criminal charges against Gyekye Quayson are not helping the Nppiooooo Tom. Drop it Mr attorney general. Let us move on. He is winning the public sympathy for the Ndc.
Nana Addo’s administration is joking with the power they are enjoying and it will shock them, that’s why it’s better for the party to select a new candidate. Dr Bawumia should go with his boss so that Ghanaian voter will reconsider the party again because Mahama is not alternative Ghanaians are waiting for but considering the hardship Ghanaians are going through under Nana/Bawumia administration, they will go back for mahama though he has no message. Npp should do Ghanaians good by selecting different candidate apart from Bawumia to save Ghana. Mahama is a dangerous choice for the country, the man has no clue in governance, very corrupt politician.
