Trial of 3 NDC MPs clear case of ‘political witch hunt’ – Ablakwa

The three MPs are Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minority Leader and MP for Ajumako Enyan Essiam; James Gyakye Quayson, the MP for Assin North and Collins Dauda, MP for Asutifi South.

On the other hand, James Gyakye Quayson is undergoing trial at the High Court in Accra for charges of forgery and perjury.

“We are clear in our minds that what is going on with the case of James Gyakye Quayson, Ato Forson, and Collins Dauda is nothing but a political witch hunt and that is why the Minority Leader announced that we are no longer going to cooperate with parliamentary business

The irony is that the lawyer of Gyakye Quayson has been a victim of this before

Indeed, he has gone back to the Supreme Court and indeed the records show that what happened to him was a travesty of justice and has expunged that

He indicated that they had come to that conclusion because of the president’s admonishing to the people of Assin North not to vote for Mr Quayson as he was likely to be a jailbird.

“For those who thought that the ongoing persecution was not persecution but prosecution and that it will be a fair trial that the charges have merit and that it is not a kangaroo process All those people have been left with a very rude awakening that indeed what is going on is nothing but witch hunting and clear manipulation of the judiciary,” he added.
