Even Mensah Otabil and others whose bank caused huge financial loss to the states are still roaming in Ghana preaching so it’s not strange that this Essien guy has been granted pardon.
If a country is run like this, where is the deterrent for others not to steal from the state? This shows the kind of leadership Ghana has. May the universe have mercy on mother Ghana. No love for the ordinary people who are struggling day to day by thieves in the helm of affairs of the state

I hope, sincerely, that the release of some of these high profile personalities will not affect the work of O.R.A.L. Only legends will overstand my point.

Akufo Addo can try all his gimmicks, he is GOING TO JAIL. He will not pass through "GO". He and his daughters are heading straight to JAIL. In some jurisdictions, he will be tied to a stake and shot.

I think framers of the constitution should look at the prerogative mercy power given to the president again,
I would like to submit that if a person is imprison under my presidency,- the law must stop me from granting the prisoner a pardon.
The reason is , - it could sow great loot and share. in the sense that
one could be politically motivated to commit a gross financial loss to the state with the view and orchestration that- at the end of my term as president such a person would be granted a presidential pardon.
it is very important because Akuffu Addo killed minded power drunk presidency has thought all of us a big lessons.
somebody like Gabi Asare Okyere Dark , - he became the defect- prime minister. such a person could commit all sorts of crimes. with the view of presidential pardon- he could get away with the looted money, or murderous crimes.

It does not reward to steal small things like chicken, goats, bunch of plantain, etc. The bigger the loot, the more likely you will get presidential pardon. Just donate to each of the two parties, NDC-NPP, and you will not rot in jail. You will come back to enjoy the remaining loot.

Between weed and cocaine which one carry weight. All ganja smokers should be released. Nonsense. It is accepted in many countries for recreational purpose. Better countries for that matter. Akufo Kwasea. Legalise it

It was all about releasing those drug barrons but they must add others to make it not look suspicious. Nana Addo and illicit drugs are inseparable
