Oforikrom: DRIP tipper truck involved in accident, coordinator accused of unauthorized use
A tipper truck among the DRIP machines belonging to the Oforikrom Municipal Assembly has been involved in a serious accident after the DRIP Coordinator allegedly used it for personal work.
The truck reportedly crashed into a building at Konkoli near Trede in the Atwima Kwanwoma District, destroying a Benz vehicle with registration number GW-7851-Z.
The situation is currently generating massive tension at the Oforikrom Municipal Assembly as some individuals are calling for the head of the DRIP Coordinator Raphael Tampuri and the MCE.
A deep-throat source at the Assembly, in an interview with OTEC News Reporter Kwame Agyenim Boateng on Sunday, revealed the DRIP Coordinator was using the machine for a business outside the Assembly’s assigned duties under the watch of the MCE.
“The truck was being used to transport sand at the Trede enclave when it crashed into the building, and we have every reason to believe they were using it for personal business,” the source said.
“Earlier on, we were told at the Assembly that the truck had developed a fault and was out for repairs, only for it to get involved in an accident,” the source added.
“The accident occurred on a holiday, April 5, 2026, Easter Monday, when all official government work had been put on hold due to the holiday,” the source noted.
The source revealed the truck has since been towed to a garage at Suame Magazine for repairs.
When contacted, Mr Tampuri said the said matter is been handled by some high ranking officials adding that he can not speak to the issue for now
