I do not believe this story in tis entirety. How could the minister be on the wheel himself? where was his driver?
Or is the story meant as usual of street reportrs to cause sensation?

Rawlings used to drive secretly. Who is a regional minister that he cannot drive occasionally to visit a friend secretly. Except in the north otherwise who wants to assassinate a regional minister.

Wayongo shouldn't use official vehicle off duty. It was Sunday and he should set an example as a minister not to drive government vehicle by law. I can't forget what he did to COP TIMBILLAH.

reading de posted comments, i can see dat most hv concluded dat it was de minister's fault thus judged.
NOW THE FACTS
de accident did happen in Navrongo just arrd de goil filling station.
de lady in question is NOT an old lady as it's bn reported.
she was taken to Navrongo hosp first n was later referred to Bawku bcos she had a fractured leg.
they were 3 ladies each on a motor bike who had closed from church n were branching to de filling station presumably to buy fuel. de first lady showed indication of entering de station, de second did same. de third did not so when de minister attempted to over take her, she all of a sudden curved to follow de other two at which time de minister cld not help but to knok her. de luck was dat he wasn't speeding if not it wld hv bn a different story.
na who cause sam, de minister or de lady?
as at now de minister's car is packed at police station. he insisted dat de car b packed there for de necessary investigations to b conducted.

It is NDC time again to kill destroy and vandalise state institutions.
Wheneve it is time for elections or getting closser, NDC will murder Ghanaians as if they are goats meant for cristmas celebrations. This time, both Jon Mahama who killed the Ghanaian Times reporter Nuama and injured several other NDC journalists must be prosecuted and jailed. The same is true for Woyongo. It was a Sunda, instead of going to church, Woyogo was going to visit his girl friend with a car belonging to the state. This idiot Woyogo must be arrested, prosecuted and jailed for killing a human being so foolishly.

An old lady riding a motorbike? How old is the victim? Was she riding the bike by herself? If not, why no mention of the driver? This is one of those stories which make some of us feel like throwing up. Assuming it did happen, it is clear that the writer was maliciously economical with the truth to achieve some ulterior motive.

The important thing is that: "would the old lady get justice?" "would the driver be punished if found guilty?" If there is no justice in the country, then do not expect to see progress in your life time.
