The Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has expressed concern about comments made by individuals in influential positions that could potentially impact the ongoing criminal trial of James Gyakye Quayson, the Member of Parliament-elect for Assin North.
The Attorney General is particularly worried about calls to reverse the decision of the high court judge to hear the perjury case against the MP-elect on a daily basis.
One such appeal came from Dormaahene Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, who urgently appealed to the President and the Attorney General to discontinue the trial and file a nolle prosequi to end the proceedings.
But in a sharp rebuttal, Mr Dame emphasized that such remarks have the potential to affect the fair adjudication of the case and undermine the administration of justice.
“I will come out with a proper statement on the matter and it will be in respect of all comments generally which have the tendency to subvert the administration of justice, I think that it is very unhealthy for our democratic dispensation and we must not countenance same,” he said.
