Lawyers for the Greater Accra Regional Manager of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) have described as �a palpable lie and an injurious falsehood�, claims by an intern that their client attempted raping her.
In a letter written to Radio XYZ from Noah Tetteh Matey�s Lawyers, Urafiki Law Consult, Mr Stephen Ahor, who signed the letter, said the allegation by the intern was �a naked brazen attempt to tarnish his hard won reputation over the years and a calculated attempt to tarnish his reputation among right thinking members of society�.
Mr. Ahor also denied, in the letter, that his client was arrested by the Bureau of National Investigations, as earlier reported.
The Lawyers accused the intern in question of �unlawfully collecting Ghc5.00 from every customer� before serving them at her duty post, where she was tasked to issue Driver Licence forms.
Additionally, Tetteh Matey�s Lawyers accused the lady of being �in the habit of picking quarrels� with national service personnel at the Office, a situation which necessitated a query from management, after which she was asked to go home after �her period of attachment with DVLA expired�.
According to the letter, the alleged victim was prevented by Security officers at the Office, from entering after she allegedly �tried to forcibly enter the DVLA compound�.
�It was after these developments that she started peddling this falsehood�, the letter said.
Already the national head Office of the DVLA has started investigating the allegation, which it described as an alleged �sexual harassment�.
