The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Minority on Thursday boycotted the sitting of the House to enable Members to accompany and solidarise with two members of their Caucus, who are facing criminal prosecutions in Court.

They are Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, NDC Minority Leader and Mr James Gyakye Quayson, the NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North.

Mr. Kwame Governs Agbodza, the NDC Minority Chief Whip, speaking to the press at Parliament House said Dr Forson and Mr Gyakye Quayson were due to appear in court on Thursday morning in their respective on-going criminal prosecutions by the Attorney-General.

“The Minority stands united with our colleagues, and as such will not be able to honour the business of the house today.” The Chief Whip said.

“We wish to reiterate the point that amidst persecution, cooperation will suffer.”

The Ghana news Agency (GNA) was established on March 5, 1957, i.e. on the eve of Ghana’s independence and charged with the “dissemination of truthful unbiased news”. It was the first news agency to be established in Sub-Saharan Africa. GNA was part of a comprehensive communication policy that sought to harness the information arm of the state to build a viable, united and cohesive nation-state. GNA has therefore been operating in the unique role of mobilizing the citizens for nation building, economic and social development, national unity and integration.
