Assin North’s Representative in Parliament, James Gyakye Quayson, has expressed confidence in Ghana’s legal system, after he disclosed that he strongly believes that he will be exonerated upon the finality of his legal tussle.
The lawmaker is still facing legal trial after being charged with perjury and forgery.
When questioned about any concerns regarding the possibility of incarceration if found guilty, the Assin North MP responded resolutely, stating, No, why should I? I believe in the justice system. The fundamental thing about any judicial matter is that person intended to commit that crime. Did he plan it, I have not planned anything of such”.
Mr. Quayson further emphasized his conviction that time will vindicate him. He asserted, “My strongest conviction is that this is just a matter of time. When you believe you have done the right thing, you shouldn’t be afraid. I trust the court will deliver a very positive verdict. I trust my lawyers, I trust the conscience of the people.”
The MP disclosed that he had been exercising his dual citizenship since 2009. He explained the process of obtaining dual citizenship through the Ministry of Interior, involving the presentation of both a Canadian and Ghanaian passport to secure a green certificate. Quayson’s dual citizenship allowed him to travel freely between Ghana and Canada without the need for a visa. He pointed out that the Ghanaian authorities officially recognized his dual citizenship status, raising questions about the allegations surrounding his nationality.
In closing, Quayson dismissed any fear of incarceration, asserting, “So I don’t fear going to jail at all.” As the legal proceedings unfold, the MP’s unwavering faith in the justice system remains a prominent facet of his defense strategy
