The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Minority is telling Ghanaians that when their members
break the law, they expect them to be set free.
The NDC MPs set this dangerous standard on Thursday when they boycotted the sitting of the House to enable
Members to allegedly accompany and solidarise with two members of their Caucus, who are facing criminal
prosecutions in Court.
They are Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, NDC Minority Leader and Mr James Gyakye Quayson, the NDC Member of
Parliament (MP) for Assin North.
Mr Kwame Governs Agbodza, the NDC Minority Chief Whip, speaking to the press at Parliament House said Dr
Forson and Mr Gyakye Quayson were due to appear in court on Thursday morning in their respective on-going
criminal prosecutions by the Attorney-General.
"The Minority stands united with our colleagues, and as such will not be able to honour the business of the house
today." The Chief Whip said.
" We wish to reiterate the point that amidst persecution, cooperation will suffer."
