High Office Not for People with Dual Citizenship and Divided Allegiance

 High Office Not for People with Dual Citizenship and Divided Allegiance



The assertion that citizenship and allegiance is ambiguous as pointed out by the Supreme court, so the James Joe Gyakye Quayson's criminal trial should be discontinued is NOT correct. 

The ambiguity associated with the question of allegiance is on the basis that allegiance is a moral character which can be corrupted. 

That doesn't mean that it can be completely decoupled from citizenship. Possessing the citizenship documents of another country is evidence of allegiance until otherwise proven to be null and void. In the absence of such a proof, it is only the complete renunciation of that other country's citizenship that the status of unalloyed allegiance be ascertained.

If citizenship of another country is not renounced and a proof of a broken or sworn allegiance is used to stand in its place, that offensive conduct can be forgiven in order that the other country's citizenship be allowed to continue to stand and persist. That act of forgiveness can be offered unilaterally or upon pleadings, either way acts of betrayal do NOT definitively and automatically cancel citizenship. No way.

So a person with citizenship to another country owes that country an allegiance by default until renunciation of citizenship is complete. And in the case of conflict or prosecution such a person can take cover in that country and they will refuse extradition. 

It is only a complete renunciation of citizenship that will disempower the other country from exercising it's overreaching powers of protecting its citizens at all cost especially when it possesses superior military power.

The swearing of an oath of allegiance by MPs, therefore does not by itself cancel the same allegiance already sworn to another country. It's just an affirmation of an existing allegiance wholly owed to Ghana without doubt or infidelity. That fidelity of allegiance without any doubt must be true and unquestionable at the time of completing the forms to contest.

Applying to renounce one's citizenship of another country by itself is not enough. That renunciation application must have been recieved, processed and accepted and a certificate of renunciation issued for it to be complete. 

Enough of the distractions and distortions. 
The criminal prosecution of James Joe Gyakye Quayson cannot be wished away with political theater. Especially by the same goons who set the precedence and killed an "innocent" person in the process.
