Worawora (Volta Region) — Robert Mensah, operator of the boat that was involved in an accident on the Volta Lake that claimed the lives of 50 people on 18 April, has been granted 20 million cedis Police inquiry bail.
Mensah is to report to the Worawora Police once every other week. The Police at Worawora told the Ghana News Agency that the docket on the case had been sent to the Attorney General’s Department for advice.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Roads and Transport last week constituted a seven-member committee of inquiry to investigate the circumstances that led to the accident. The Committee, under the chairmanship of Mr Justice Paul Gyaesaeyor, Volta Region Supervising High Court Judge, is to present its report within five weeks. The committee among other things would investigate the causes of the accident and the actual number of people who died.
