Majority leader in motor accident

Dr. Kwabena Adjei, Majority Leader, is now joined on admission by his driver, Maxwell Alimo, at the 37 Military Hospital following their involvement in a car accident last Friday, October 12 on the Accra-Tema Motorway.

Alhaji Mumuni Seidu, Deputy Majority Leader, informing Parliament about the absence of Dr. Adjei from the House, said the driver was earlier sent to the Tema General Hospital because he sustained more severe injuries.

Alhaji Seidu said since the accident occurred close to Tema, the sensible thing to do was to send him to the nearest hospital.

Dr. Adjei, who sustained less severe injuries, later went to 37 Military Hospital. The driver was later transferred from Tema to join him at the same hospital. "It was not that the driver was discriminated against," Alhaji Seidu explained.

The Majority Leader was travelling to his constituency in the Volta Region together with the driver and his bodyguard who escaped unhurt. Members wished their Leader a speedy recovery and sent a delegation led by Alhaji Seidu to visit the two, who are responding to treatment.
