The NDC Minority in Parliament has boycotted today’s sitting to enable Members accompany and solidarize with two members of their Caucus, namely the Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and MP for Assin North, 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.
In a statement issued by the whip, Governs Kwame Agbodza noted that “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, James Gyakye Quayson and Collins Dauda, he stated.
They also served notice and reiterate the point that “amidst persecution, cooperation will suffer”.
