High court to hear Gyakyie Quayson’s motion for review tomorrow
The High Court hearing the perjury and forgery case against James Gyakye Quayson has fixed Wednesday June 21,2023 to hear a motion seeking to vary its decision to hear the case on day-to-day basis.
In court today, (June 20), lawyer for Quayson, Tsatsu Tsikata, had notified the court about the motion.
However, a Deputy-Attorney-General, Alfred Tuah-Yeboah told the court that his office had not received the motion and would need up to tomorrow June 21 to peruse the document and respond to it.
He, therefore, prayed the Court to allow lawyers for the accused person to continue the cross-examination of the first prosecution witness in the matter as agreed by the court.
Mr Tsikata, who did not agree with the Deputy A-G, said the matters raised in the motion for variation preceded the proceedings, hence continuing with the trial would be an injustice to his client.
