The Accra High Court will announce its decision on Tuesday, July 11, regarding the application for a stay of proceedings in the case involving James Gyakye Quayson, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North.

Mr. Quayson is currently facing charges of forgery and perjury, with his trial taking place at the High Court in Accra.

The legal team representing the MP has submitted an application to the court, requesting a stay of proceedings to allow the Court of Appeal to review the trial judge's decision to conduct the case on a day-to-day basis.

Tsatsu Tsikata, the lead counsel for Quayson, argued that denying the stay of proceedings would prejudice the pending appeal.

On the other hand, the prosecution, led by Godfred Dame, has opposed the application.

During the court proceedings, the Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, addressed the Accra High Court and stated that Tsatsu Tsikata's application was based on irrelevant matters, factual distortions, and confusion.

Opposing the application, the AG emphasized that there were no exceptional circumstances presented that would justify a stay of proceedings in a criminal trial.

He further argued that the application appeared to be a deliberate attempt to impede the ongoing criminal trial of the Assin North MP.
