The member of parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga, has emphasized the necessity of the immediate disclosure of the specifics of the judgment regarding James Gyakye Quayson.
According to Ayariga, in order for the Minority Caucus and the general public to comprehend the tenets and justifications underlying the Supreme Court decision ordering Parliament to omit Quayson’s name from its records, it is imperative that they support this demand.
Even though Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, the president’s choice for Chief Justice, “did a very brilliant job before the Appointments Committee, and she was impressive and looking at her CV, she has the administrative abilities to lead the justice system,” Mr. Ayariga stated that it is crucial to make the Gyakye Quayson decision available to the Appointments Committee in order to improve the judiciary’s reputation.
According to Ayariga, “We were very impressed with her CV and her background…but we were also looking at the way that the judiciary had been managed in contemptuous political matters, and we wanted to make that point. We will want to know her philosophy and the kind of argument that she will use to defend the decision taken to expel one of us from Parliament so that it will enable us to move forward, so we are not deferring her approval. ”.
He went on to emphasize how important it is to understand the reasoning behind a unanimous decision and how important it is for the court to make its comments on rulings known in order to uphold its reputation.
As a result, the Minority Caucus members have chosen to postpone voting on Torkornoo’s approval until they have Gyakye Quayson’s verdict by June 7.
