This is very irresponsible statement from Ansa-Asare. How do you quantify the harm caused Ghanaians and to the environment by galamsey? The Wontumi galamsey issue became a serious concern even under Akufo Addo's era and CSOs against galamsey have petitioned the President over it. So, why does Ansa-Asare tag this case as political case? And think this is a very senior lawyer and former director of the Ghana law school, who such irresponsible statements is quite worrying. Do we really want the law to work in Ghana or do we want hamd politicians license to flout the law with impunity? Do we really want to fight against galamsey or we just want to do the usual NDC-NPP foolish business? Why can't people take off their partisan political spectacles for a moment?

Thanks, what a warp, daft and hypocritical statement from a so called learned lawyer. Looking at the devastation caused by Wontumi to our environment, if the Govt want to reclaim whatever has been destroyed to its normal life will the amount be able to fix it even if it has to be paid, Wontumi a law abiding citizen? Ansa Asare should say this to the dogs not Ghanaians. He's a potential flight risk period.

You seems to have convinced yourself that you are writing sense but in effect you’re exposing your shortsightedness. Will the excessive bail conditions mitigate the environmental damage you are complaining about? The lawyer is arguing that once Wontumi is cooperating with law enforcement there is no need for the court to impose excessive bail conditions since that is not part of the law but an attempt by the judge to satisfy his political masters.Is this something you cannot understand? Stop spewing nonsense and wisen up.

Ayine, the Attorney General has said that he cannot prosecute anyone based on the list the useless ORAL had sent to him and with that being a defeat to the government, they have to make life miserable for Wontumi as way to save their abysmal performance when it to the law.

NDC should understand that power is transient and one day, they will leave and stand behind the fence looking inside. They should remember that anything they are doing to those they hate for no reason because the shoe will be too tight on the other foot one day.

Do you sleep, and why? Why is Cecilia Dapaah not in jail, any reason? Do you think emotions can win your case in court?

Where were you when Jakpa went to the former Governor of Bank of Ghana house and instantly asked him about the "Vault" in his house, and a Ghanaian like you believe that. Did Japka find the "Vault" in Addision's house and what came out from that vault?

When Kufuor was president, NDC made Ghanaians understand that Kufuor's bathtub was made of "Gold". That foolish narrative sank deep into the minds of Ghanaians till Kufuor invited the press to his house and what came out of that? Did the press show you photos of the gold bathtub in Kufuor's house?

Ghana is for all, and we should thread cautiously.

Why is Mr. Ansa-Asare crying more than the bereaved?
Wontumi himself said he was the richest person in Ghana, albeit, through galamsey, so what is gh15m to such a rich man?
He is even likely to get someone to bail him at the said amount, escape from the jurisdiction, and just pay the person back; after all, he is a rich man, according to his own words.
His baip should have even be more than that.

What is the law doing to President Mahama who, during his campaign, promised to set free the illegal miners who the NPP government had imprisoned?
● The promise of Mahama encouraged the galamseyers to vote massively for him to become the president.
● Now galamsey activities are out of control.
● President Mahama is the big problem in the fight against galamsey.

Kwame Nkrumah, is back on as the "Sole Founder Of Ghana" Simon Boliva, is recognised as the" Sole Founder " of Peru, Panama, Bolivia, Venezuela Ecuador and Colombiia. You can stick that on your protruding teeth! Your thesis to erase his name from our history got you nowhere. Adjei Sarfo, wo ye akyene boa bi ba , wae! Wotumi, should be hang, drawn and quartered. And, if that riles you, go and fetch a gallon of water from any of the rivers that he polluted and drink to cheer yourself up just like uour utterly hopeless sidekick called Kwame Kwaseato Ahoofe.

I don't understand some comments made by people of ansah-asare stature. As rich as wontumi himself had claimed he is, do you expect him be given a bail as an ordinary person? An amount that he can easily pay without even going to the bank? Apart from that look at the seriousness of the crimes he's been accused. Ansah-asare and people like him should use their platform in an impartial way and also to educate the people.

Is Mr Ansah Asare now realizing the harm President Mahama is doing to the Judiciary? Now all judges in Ghana are on the side of the government. Their independence is over because they are all afraid after the Chief Justice was removed by the President. Unfortunately Mr Ansah Asare did not see anything wrong with the way the CJ was treated.It is a shame.
