The Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, has been involved in a near-fatal road crash.
The crash happened on Saturday afternoon on the Fiapre-Dumasua road after the minister’s car reportedly collided with a tipper truck in the Bono Region where he is also the NPP MP for Sunyani West.
On the same day, an opposition NDC MP, Rockson Dafeamakpor was also involved in a gory accident on the Avayime road in the Volta Region.
The minister was said to be in the company of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman for the Sunyani West Constituency, Kusi Boadum and another person when the accident occurred.
The victims were then rushed to the Bono Regional Hospital in Sunyani.
In the case of Mr. Dafeamakpor, who is the NDC MP for South Dayi in the Volta Region, he and some of his colleagues were said to be returning to Accra after attending the funeral ceremony of the father of his colleague parliamentarian, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in the region when the unfortunate accident occurred.
The MP who is also a member of the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee was said to be unhurt and went to the hospital for a check-up.
According to reports, a KIA truck loaded with concrete blocks ran into the MP’s vehicle, forcing the car to somersault twice.
