We know a few things. We know that the question - whether a person is a citizen of a country - is a question of law. We also know that the answer to that question is found only in the law of the country in question. We know that the law of a foreign country is a question of fact in the courts of the country where the case is being adjudicated.
We know, too, that ignorance of fact (unlike ignorance of law) is a valid excuse in a criminal trial. So that where accused persons were not ignorant of the LAW (that possession of weed was a crime), but were ignorant of the FACT (that the herbs in their possession was weed), the court held that their ignorance (of the fact) was a valid excuse which entitled them to acquittal.
Now to the point: Gyakye Quayson has, together with the EC and all its lawyers, maintained that he did not know that he continued to be a citizen of Canada after he renounced that citizenship and until a renunciation certificate was issued. The question whether he continued to be a Canadian citizen after renunciation was a question for Canadian law alone to answer.
Being a question of law in Canada - a foreign law - that question becomes a question of fact in Ghana in respect of which a person is entitled to be ignorant. And, we know that a court will not convict a man for being ignorant of a fact. So, one may be wondering - what exactly is Ghana’s Attorney-General roaming the courts doing? Well, then, again, such is the nature of the Attorney-General’s prosecutorial power - legal and political.
