Embattled Assin North MP, James Gyakye Quayson says he is an innocent man, therefore, has no cause to be perturbed over the election petition case involving him and Michael Ankomah Nimfah, who is the petitioner.

For this reason, Mr. Gyakye Quayson, says he has complete faith in the judicial system in the country.

Speaking to the media in Parliament on Friday, Mr Quayson noted that he is in a lively and cheerful mood.

"I am in a very high spirit. An innocent person has nothing to fear. That is all I can say. All I can say to you at this time is that this matter is in court."

"I believe and trust in the judicial system because that is the way for people to measure their innocence," he said.

The MP noted that he cannot comment on matters that are currently in the Court of Law. He made the comment when asked whether his bodyguard threw out the bailiff tasked to give court documents to him.

Supreme Court Registrar, Mathew Antiaye told the court a bailiff tasked to give court documents to MP James Gyakye Quayson said he was thrown out of the legislator’s office by a bodyguard.

On the botched attempt in Parliament, the Registrar said the bailiff met Mr Quayson but the MP refused to be served and asked his bodyguard to throw the bailiff out of the office.

On separate occasions, court officials at the Supreme Court and prosecutors at the High Court have pointed out their inability to find the MP to hand him court processes.

The action at the Supreme Court is among other things, seeking to restrain the MP from performing Parliamentary duties. There is another criminal case in which the MP is accused of forgery and perjury.

A Cape Coast High Court in July 2021, ruled that Mr Quayson was not eligible to contest the 2020 polls as he held dual citizenship at the time of filing.

Mr. Quayson has since been fighting to set aside the matter currently pending at the Court of Appeal.

Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has dismissed claims that the Assin North MP is deliberately evading court processes.

NDC Director of Legal Affairs, Abraham Amaliba told JoyNews the MP is simply ensuring that due process is complied with.

His statement comes as a response to comments by spokesperson for Michael Ankomah Nimfah, Mr Richard Tachie Menson who said the MP is engaged in a ploy to delay the court by filing many applications while evading court processes.
