It seems the law is selectively applied in Ghana. Why is he still walking around scot free when he was caught red-handed in the act of stealing government property?

There are thousands of people on remand at various jails for offences involving items of much lesser value.

I'll be hugely disappointed in our current AG and the government as a whole if this walking charade called Dumelo is not made to face justice for his crimes against our dear nation.

If examples are not made, officially sanctioned thievery of national assets will continue to happen till thy Kingdom come on an ever increasing scale.

Even if i write greek is better to encourage someone who is trying to show somebody how to make good life than to talk shit about him that is why we are still begging white people for help

THEY'RE SO INWARD LOOKING TO THE EXTENT THAT WHEN THEY HAVE TO FARM, THEY THINK ONLY ABOUT WHAT THEIR TRIBE EAT: GARI. AN EWE MAN WILL NEVER GO INTO YAM OR PLANTAIN FARMING.

This reporter is really struggling with the English language. Is it " by force" to report an issue if your language is not clear enough for people to understand what you are actually saying?

I am glad this lazy brat is training for the life ahead of him, that is life in prison at Nsawam. This is both encouraging and laughable, after stealing a whole Landcruiser, attempting to disguise or rebrand and then attempted to bribe the security agents who came to retrieve it, I am happy to see you my friend getting prepared for your stay in prison by cultivating cassava, I hear that's what the folks in prison do, good luck when the special prosecutor comes and calls your case, but for the meantime shame on you for your unpatriotic act,

@the reporter you're a big fool by looking down in farming, farmers and Agriculture. "As many would seem farming as a dirty job"; only your stupid mother and useless family would see farming as a dirty job. Trace your family's history and you would know how your people managed to survive through farming. I'm in korea and working as an agricultural engineer. Your dirty journalism cannot be compared to agriculture in any way. Stupid reporter. Learn to respect agriculture, the bedrock of the ghana and the world's economy. Aboa ba get a life!!

I thought the NPP and its empty-headed lunatic goons said that John Dumelo had stolen 2 state vehicles, and that he sent one to a welder's shop for some works and spraying; and still they are unable to arrest the man. I hope they are not telling us that John is bigger that the state. You see, when you make lies and deception your daily activity, it will surely catch up with you. What are they going to tell us now? Another story? Hmmm, NPP will surely pay dearly for all their lies, deception, plagiarism and stealing of "incompetent NDC" programmes, ideas and projects over time. Election 2020 will be a defining moment, a time of reckoning, and I bet their lies will be exposed big time because they will not be able to deceive the now discerning Ghanaians twice.

On what grounds is he using yong people in that area for his farm?he must pay them and not use them for free or buy them food to eat whiles he enjoy free labour,this guy is a croak,since when did he know cassava farming is lucrative after Ndc lost?whoever described this idiot as a philanthropist is brain dead,how can a person who stole a state vehicle and tried to conceal identity of same be described as such?how much has he given to society as an actor?even when dumsor was affecting the very industry that made him who he is and his colleagues spoke against it,he jumped to the defense of the then government just because he had plans to campaign for them.He again approached the npp told them how bad John mahama was ruling this country and enumerated few things that was going wrong including corruption,got their attention,took pictures with the current president then a candidate and off he went using that as a trump card to join the ndc,he lied to them how npp was chasing him to campaign for them and the ndc as prostitutes as they re threw state money and cars at him,gave him contracts at NSS,made him ambassador for lies and ridicule of Ghanaians to the deadend.This idiot was always seen at auto workshops repairing his old cars including an old fashioned jaguar he borrowed from a friend.Let see how this idiot can sell cassava to buy landcruser V8 in 3years,does he know how many people farm cassava 10 times larger that him who can not buy a motorbike?

Its about time our young rich guys in Africa start venturing into agriculture not just growing food.we have the vast land which can be purchased so cheap in our villages. We are waiting for the Chinese and others to come and buy and own our land and profit of it. Big ups to Dumelo.You will be followed by others soon.Africans should not be hungry.with vast land ,24/7 sunshine and technology to drill water from the ground. No need for rainfed farming. If our leaders will take agriculture after they leave office, and invest into agriculture the youth will not shun agriculture. That will motivate them to go into agriculture. Which will create jobs and reduce rural urban migration. Will be joining Dumelo sooner than later.
