The minister of roads and highways, Mr Kwasi Amoako-Attah, has petitioned the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, to investigate an allegation of corruption levelled against him on a radio station.

The petition, written by his lawyers, stated that when their client listened to the tape, he found that a popular radio presenter called Captain Smart, is alleged to have collected some money from a woman for the benefit of the minister.

The minister said he is appalled by the allegation, which, apart from its criminal connotations, is also defamatory of his integrity.

He, therefore, wants a full investigation conducted into the allegation contained on the clip, not only for his name and long-standing integrity to be cleared but also for any perpetrator involved to be dealt with in accordance with law.
