The commissioning of earth-moving equipment under the recently launched District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) in the Gomoa West District turned violent.
Details of the scuffle remain unclear, but reports indicate that it involved members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The District Chief Executive, who also doubles as the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Gomoa West, Bismarck Nkum, explained the sequence of events to the press.
He stated that the President of the Gomoa Akyempim Traditional Council and the President of the Gomoa Assin Traditional Council were ready to commission the machines when the sitting Member of Parliament Richard Gyan-Mensah arrived with some angry NDC party members.
According to Mr Nkum, the MP disrupted the programme, allegedly brandishing a gun, chains, and a cutlass.
But Gomoa West MP Richard Gyan-Mensah has denied the allegations.
