The law is the law
Do You remember Fred AGBESI WAYOME's bail amount was Ghc54m. And no one made noise on it. That time Ghc54m was equivalent to over Ghc100m now using the then Dollar rate.

The initial amount was Ghc54m. Read the details below.

Alfred Agbesi Woyome was initially granted bail of GH¢54 million with two sureties to be justified by the Accra Fast Track High Court in February 2012. However, shortly thereafter, the Financial Court reviewed and reduced the bail amount to GH¢20 million, requiring three sureties to be justified .

Despite the reduction, Woyome's legal team managed to raise GH¢87 million in assets to meet the bail conditions. Nevertheless, delays in property valuation by the Lands Commission postponed his release from custody .

These bail proceedings were part of the broader legal actions concerning the GH¢51.2 million judgment debt payment made to Woyome, which the Supreme Court later ruled was obtained unlawfully and ordered to be refunded to the state .

For a visual summary of the bail proceedings, you may find the following video informative:

Hey, @Nene Nannor kwaseato gyimifuor ba sakasaka mampam núa...!!!!! Per your emphatic statement, we should be having Woyome sweating in prison by now, but Woyome is out there sleeping comfortably in his mansion. You must be as stupid as your lunatic ex-president (Nana Akuffo Addo), not to know that, the 20 million cedis you are foolishly mentioning here is still far more valuable than the 50 million cedis that your boastful but empty galamsey illiterate Chairman was asked to pay.

Funny world. In February 2012, Alfred Woyome was granted bail by a court in the sum of GHC 54 million over a GHC 51 million case. And a song was composed 'for' him.

@Nannor, I feel very sorry for you and other Ghanaians and Africans who support thieves. Are you even humans? No wonder Africans are in a very sorry state despite the massive resources. We follow any thief who gives even 5 cedis to us. These people steal and are comfortable while you can probably not even afford to go to a good heath facility for annual checkups. Isn’t it sad????

I am sure to sound tribalistic but Wontumi is reaping what his people sowed. They should now learn how to help other get what they want after they have been helped.

I am really enjoying my day when I hear Wontumi is still in detention slapped with multiple legal challenges. I pray Wontumi does feign illness to escape accountability and prosecution now that Gertrude Torkono is de facto removed. I can't wait for the day Wontumi will be arraigned before the law court. I will not be surprised if Wontumi is not released on Monday because of raft of charges preferred against him. Where were Afenyo Markin, Bawumia and NPP leaders when Wontumi was monkeying around, couldn't you have reined him in ? You guys have consciously contributed to the legal woes of this idiot Wontumi and now you turn round and blame the government and the system?
