Samuel Ayeh-Paye, the former Member of Parliament for Ayensuano, has called for a thorough investigation into the recent train accident, stating that the sentencing of the driver involved is not sufficient to close the case. 

Ayeh-Paye highlighted the need for accountability from various stakeholders, including the railway development authority and the Ghana Railway Company Limited.
