Roads and Highways Minister, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, has instructed his lawyers to sue Western Publications Communications Limited, publishers of the Daily Guide Newspaper for libel.
Alhaji Fuseini said the decision taken will help unravel the truth surrounding his alleged GH₵80,000 spent on dancehall artist Shatta Wale to perform at his campaign launch on Saturday, October 1, 2016 at Tamale.
The paper in its Monday edition dated October 3, 2016, claimed that the Tamale Central legislator contracted Shatta Wale to the tune of GH₵80,000 to perform at his campaign launch.
But the Roads and Highways Minister on Kasapa FM debunked such claims, insisting that the paper published falsehood and it is only at the law court where the truth will prevail.
“As at now, I have instructed my lawyers to file for libel against the Daily Guide newspaper because I have never met Shatta Wale. It was a political strategy. When I was going to launch my campaign, there are so many people who helped me. One of my friends and a sympathizer of the NDC came to tell me that in all the campaign launch of our candidates, they play Shatta Wale’s Mahama Paper and the people enjoyed it so he will bring Shatta Wale to sing that song live at my campaign launch at Tamale.”
“When he said that I thought that it was a reasonable offer and so I referred it to the campaign taskforce and they accepted it. So, they brought Shatta Wale and some other local artists to the campaign launch. So, as to how much he spent on Shatta Wale I do not know anything about it,” he noted.
He said although he believes that the dancehall artiste will come to Tamale to perform at his campaign launch without any form of agreement, he nonetheless, was not privy to such arrangement.
“I am a lawyer and will not believe that Shatta Wale will come to Tamale to perform without some form of agreement. So, I want us to go to court for the paper to prove it”, he stressed.

This is one ***barred word*** of a minister. He will lose anyway. ***barred word***.
THIS IS ONE MINISTER APPOINTED BY MAHAMA THAT I HATE TO SEE. TOO FULL OF HIMSELF, POMPOUS, EXTRAVAGANT AND WHAT HAVE YOU. HIS EXPENDITURE IS WAY BEYOND HIS MEANS EVEN IF HE ADDS HIS LEGAL INCOME. I AM SURPRISED MAHAMA CANNOT SEE THROUGH THIS CORRUPT MINISTER. FIRE HIM AND STOP THIS EGO-FULL MAN
so what about those boys who have ceased your Nissan Hard-body Pick Up? Have you had them arrested, prosecuted and probably sentenced? That is exactly what happens if have hardworking useful 1d1ots as Ministers and Leaders.
GO AHEAD AND SUE DAILY GUIDE, DO YOU THINK SHATTA WALE CAME ALL THE WAY FROM ACCRA TO PERFORM FOR YOU FREE. YOU MUST BE REALLY JOKING.
Use*less Inusah Fuseini is trying to do damage control..after his pick-up got stuck in the Muddy Waters on one of the roads they have purported to have worked on. SHAAAAMMMMEEEEEEE on you use*les "Minister", we know all of you and should be preparing for Nsawam by now...
"He said although he believes that the dancehall artiste will come to Tamale to perform at his campaign launch without any form of agreement, he nonetheless, was not privy to such arrangement". Mr. Minister, you are not privy to any agreement and yet you are instructing your lawyers to sue daily guide. What if they are privy to what you are not privy of. I don't also believe Shatta Wale will come all the way from Accra and perform for free at your campaign lunch.
THEN WHAT IS THE HON MINISTER'S PROBLEM BECAUSE, IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR THE JOB OF SHATTA WALE, SECONDLY, YOU DIDN'T TELL US HOW MUCH WAS PAID THE ARTIST? SO TELL US HON ROAD MINISTER WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM.
