Two directors of the Department of Urban Roads accused of taking bribes have been granted bail by an Accra Circuit Court.

The two; Benjamin Bampoe, who is the Tema Metropolitan Director and Francis Torsu, who is the New Juaben Municipal Director of the Department, were charged with conspiracy and corruption by a public officer.

[contextly_sidebar id=”SwEeJXAlx9P6UYYxSsz1upyBXMoDcqNu”]They were granted bail to the tune of GHc 30,000 each.

According to the prosecution, the two directors were captured on tape taking money from some investigative journalists who posed as foreign investors.

Plot against director

They were also captured revealing their plot to ensure the dismissal of the Director of the Department.

According to Saaka Salia, the man who made a formal complaint to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for the investigation of the two, the suspects revealed that the Roads and Highways Minister was open to taking bribes, and were willing to serve his interest if he paid a certain amount of money to him.

“For you to say that you are in town to ensure the removal of the current Urban roads director when you are a subordinate, you have to explain to the public,” Saaka Salia.
