Member of Parliament (MP) for Madina, Francis Xavier Sosu, has been fined GH₵2,400 for reckless and inconsiderate driving.
This was after he was arraigned before the La District Court on Friday on the charges of reckless and inconsiderate driving, driving in the middle of the road facing oncoming traffic and causing danger to other road users.
The Court also directed Mr Sosu to remove the front siren lights on his vehicle which the Police say had been unlawfully fitted.
