Former President John Mahama has described the Supreme Court’s ruling that barred the Assin North MP, James Gyakye Qayson, from performing Parliamentary duties as a misrepresentation of justice.
In a Facebook post, Mr Mahama said the Apex Court’s ruling is a deliberate display of disrespect to the country’s democracy.
In a majority decision on Wednesday, April 13, the Supreme Court ruled that Mr Gyakye Quayson can no longer perform Parliamentary duties.
This is until the determination of the substantive case filed against him at the Supreme Court, but Mr. Mahama questioned the legality of the ruling when there is a substantive case pending before the Supreme Court on the legitimacy of the Assin North MP.
He thus suspects that the substantive case before the Apex Court has already been ruled against Mr Quayson.
He said he does not understand why an MP can be restrained from carrying out his duties when the substantive case to give finality to the question of his legitimacy has not been determined.
