The MP for Ellembele, Emmanuel Kofi Buah, has reported to police after he was stopped by police for careless and inconsiderate driving on Thursday.

Mr. Buah has subsequently been processed for court.

Police had said they were looking for the MP after he left the police station and drove away, leaving his license behind.

The Nhyiaeso MP, Dr. Stephen Amoah, faced a similar encounter with police in December 2021, after flouting road traffic regulations.

The La Magistrate Court was compelled to issue an arrest warrant for him over his failure to appear before the court.

Mr. Buah had been arrested alongside four others who “were duly processed to face court today [Friday],” a police statement said.

“However, the Hon. MP, after his driver’s license, was taken, and he was sent to the Police Station to be processed for court, failed to cooperate with the police and drove away leaving his driver’s license behind,” police explained.

The Airport Police Command, however, contacted the MP later in the night and asked him to report at the station on Friday to be processed for court, to which he complied.

The police further urged all drivers to adhere to road safety regulations.

“We continue to urge all motorists to abide by road traffic regulations to ensure the safety of all and cut down on the many road accidents. Everyone’s journey will also be faster if we all obey the road traffic rules.”
