Former Member of Parliament for the Nkawkaw constituency in the Eastern Region, Seth Adjei Baah, has described the decision of the Minority Caucus to boycott parliamentary business in solidarity with Assin North MP, James Gyakye Quayson, as an act of intimidation towards the judiciary.
Mr. Baah expressed concern over the Caucus’ actions, which he emphasized could be likened to actions seeking to compel the judiciary to give a ruling that would be favourable to them.

The former lawmaker urged the Minority to give the judiciary the chance to do its work.
“They should give the judiciary the chance to do what is right, because they are trying the case and the lawyers are there. I know they will do the right thing, so it is not about following up that will influence the decision of the court.
I would therefore plead with my brothers to come back to Parliament so that we can see how we can move Ghana forward. If a few people want to go with him [James Gyakye Quayson] to court, that is fine, but boycotting the work of Parliament is something we should not do.”
