The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Dame, has announced that he will not review the criminal case against Assin North Member of Parliament (MP), James Gyakye Quayson.
According to him, Mr. Quayson is determined to prove his innocence.
Bolgatanga East MP and former Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, disclosed this at a press conference on Wednesday.
He explained that his decision was influenced by the stance taken by Mr. Quayson’s lawyer, Tsatsu Tsikata.
“Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata told me that he wants to soldier on and prove the innocence of his client. I respect that decision,” he said.
Gyakye Quayson is currently facing trial on charges of forgery and perjury, accused of misrepresenting his Canadian citizenship status in the run-up to the 2020 elections.
He has pleaded not guilty to five counts, including forgery of passport or travel certificate, knowingly making a false statutory declaration, perjury, and false declaration for office.
