The Takoradi Habour Circuit Court A has granted the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Abdul Mumin Issah a self-recognizance bail of a GHS100,000 bail with 3 sureties after pleading not guilty to all three counts of road traffic offenses.
The MCE was arrested and charged with: Assault of a public officer, Offensive conduct conducive to breaches of the peace and disturbing the peace in a public place contrary to Sections 205, 207 and 298, respectively, of the Criminal and Other Offences Act of 1960, Act 29.
The MCE who appeared in court today pleaded not guilty to all three counts of road traffic offenses.
His lawyer, Samuel Kofi Agbota pleaded with the court to grant his client bail since all the offenses are bailable.
Presiding over the court, his Worship, Michael Kwadwo Ampadu warned the MCE and other appointees who think they are above the law; adding they should stop interfering with the work of the security service.
Meanwhile, the case has been adjourned to March 17, 2022.

Hhmmn, the most pathetic job in the world is politics especially the African type. Today, you are, tomorrow you are not and yet occupants of political positions behave as if they will never leave office. Politicians soon forget they were living with the people before their appointments and the people know them more than they know themselves. Majority of political appointees before their appointments were as poor as a church mouse, some were chamber and hall / single room occupants. Some were tenants in peoples houses and even owed rent, others could not even afford a motorcycle. Instead of humbling themselves when they occupy these privileged positions which some never dreamt of ever occupying, they start misbehaving. The police officer at his age can easily become MMDCE, you the MCE at your age can't join the police service again, so the police officer is more secured for he can do your work, you can't do his work. Maybe the police inspectors vote contributed to your party's success resulting in your appointment as MCE, you didn't vote for him to be a policeman
