KT Hammond, Minister of Trade and Industry, says he is unconcerned about a contempt case made against him by James Gyakye Quayson, Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North.
Mr Quayson has petitioned the High Court for the court to punish KT Hammond for making what he considered prejudiced statements in an ongoing action against him.
According to Mr Quayson’s attorneys, in a media interview, Mr Hammond accused their client of being guilty of the offence for which he is on trial and indicated that he will go to jail.
But speaking to the media in an interview in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Hammond said “I am not sure if those lawyers understand what precedent is, but I think I predicated my statement on the fact that there is what in legal terms called the precedence, so we are meeting in court. They played a game on me to serve me with the document, but I have accepted it.”
“I made a statement here in parliament so if they want to take me up in court yes of course at the end of the day that is where these matters end up. So what is the big deal about this.”
