I was not attacked, the traders were only expressing their discontent – Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu

The Majority Leader, also the MP for Suame, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, has disregarded media reports that he was almost lynched by traders at Suame Magazine on Tuesday, July 18, 2022.

According to him, he was not attacked but rather, the traders were only expressing their discontent over the deteriorated state of their highway.

He said this on Frontline on Rainbow Radio.

“I was not attacked. The traders only expressed, their discontent over our promise to construct the road in Suame.

Mr. Kyei-Mensah said he had gone to Suame to address the issues the traders had raised concerning their road and the Suame interchange, and upon reaching a section of the area, they encountered a group who would not take any explanation on why the project had been delayed.

He explained further that he moved away from the group due to their action, but they followed him and his team and started throwing sachet of water at them.

He said, they later went to a conference centre in the area and engaged some of the people on the issues they had raised.

According to him, the contractor who was working on the road project suspended the project because he was short of bitumen.
