Lawyer and Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Atta Akyea, has denied allegations of professional misconduct by his former clients.

Officials of construction firm J. Adom Ltd say the MP misused more than GH¢230,000 whilst he was legal counsel for the company.

Managing Director of the company, Kwabena Arhin, also alleges the MP withdrew $60,000 from its account to purchase a house at the Airport residential area in a fictitious transaction.

Police have begun investigations into the matter.

But Atta Akyea tells Joy News the allegations are untrue. According to the MP he is being asked to pay for “monies I have not collected.”
