In the course of the July 4 episode of Good Morning Ghana, the host of Metro TV's show, Randy Abbey, weighed in on the discussion surrounding the appeal for nolle prosequi in the case involving James Gyakye Quayson, the Member of Parliament for Assin North.

Abbey expressed his curiosity about the controversy surrounding the call made by Dormaahene Oseadeeyo Agyamang Badu II in relation to the case, drawing a parallel to the situation involving Aisha Huang, the Chinese galamsey queen.

He explained that while discussing the nolle prosequi issue with New Patriotic Party MP Sly Tetteh, the mention of Sam Okudzeto and the nolle prosequi reminded him of something.

"Remember the case of Aisha Huang and the nolle prosequi? Considering the detrimental impact of Aisha Huang's activities on our country, not to mention the fact that the president declared war on galamsey and staked his presidency on it..."

“Yet we were comfortable to file a nolle prosequi on the issue of Aisha Huang and the Senior Minister even went somewhere and suggested the trial won’t solve our economic problems.

He concluded his remarks by stating, "And when a chief appeals for a nolle prosequi in the case of Gyakye Quayson, it seems like chaos is imminent."

In contrast, Sly Tetteh disagreed, emphasizing that the calls to discontinue the case required stronger justifications than the current argument that Quayson had won a by-election alone.

The Dormaahene's appeal was based on the belief that the trial of Quayson was unnecessary, especially since the people of Assin North -had reelected him as their Member of Parliament even after his tenure was nullified by the Supreme Court in May.

Some pro-government voices have outrightly rejected the appeal, considering it as unwarranted interference in the legal process and an attempt to grant certain individuals special treatment due to their societal status.

It should be noted that if the government were to consider this request at any point, it wouldn't be the first time such an application has been presented before the courts.
