A 70-year-old accident victim, Kofi Atinga Kusasi, has appealed to the government through the offices of the Ghanaian Times newspaper to bring to justice a former MP who allegedly knocked him down five years ago and abandoned him.According to him, the MP for Asante Mampong knocked him with his car at about 8:30pm on March 24, 2002 at Asonomaso.The MP, Solomon Sarfo, rushed him to Asonomaso clinic, gave him ¢40,000 and left him to his fate.Apart from receiving several lacerations on the body and scalp at the time Kusasi later lost both eyes as a result of the accident and all efforts to get the MP to compensate him had fallen on deaf ears.Kusasi said he lost his sight a year after the accident as he continued attending the clinic for treatment."I used to be a bee farmer and now there is nothing I can do following my predicament and efforts to get MP to help me have proved futile," he lamented.He said the matter has been reported to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice at Mampong, but, for the past three months there has not been any positive response.When the former MP was contacted he did not deny the accident but gave a direction to contact the Mampong Divisional Police Commander, Augustine Gyening, who could not be reached on his telephone.Source: The Ghanaian Times
