MINORITY IN PARLIAMENT BOYCOTTS TODAY’S SITTING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE MINORITY LEADER AND HON. JAMES GYAKYE QUAYSON.
The NDC Minority in Parliament has boycotted today’s sitting to enable Members accompany and solidarize with two members of our Caucus, namely the Minority Leader, Hon. Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and MP for Assin North, Hon. James Gyakye Quayson.
The two are due to appear in court this morning in their respective ongoing prosecutions by the Attorney-General and the NPP Government.
The Minority stands united with our colleagues, and as such will not be able to honour the business of the house today.
This is the beginning of a series of actions that the Caucus will be embarking on to end the ongoing persecution of the Minority Leader himself, the Hon. James Gyakye Quayson and the Hon. Collins Dauda.
We wish to reiterate the point that amidst persecution, cooperation will suffer.
END
SIGNED.
KWAME GOVERNS AGBODZA (MP)
MINORITY CHIEF WHIP
