    What is this guy talking about? If you do galamsey, you should be jailed to deter others from doing the same thing. That is the point. The country is trying fight the galamsey menace and you are preaching non-sense!

  • Senseless Nonsense 22 hours ago

    Alabaster, it is a big NO! Punishment serves several purposes. One such key goal is Deterrence. Please withdraw your remarks. Wontumi as a new leaf, will tell it in your church 20 years from today.

  • AKABENEZER 19 hours ago

    Yes, I wished he had paid more restitution for lesser time. But it is, what it. Money is not everything. The law is the law. Wontumi is not the only one doing time. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

  • The Motherland 18 hours ago

    Prophet Kofie Oduro is my man, but sometimes he veers off completely. Wuntumi is even refusing to refund monies he took from Exim Bank, how can anyone expect that he will pay for anything else? The facts are starring us in th ...

    People are getting hefty sentences for murder and it still doesn't deter others. Does that mean we should stop locking People up, odwan. At least Wontumi is still not out there destroying more land.

  • The Spear 11 hours ago

    Which hefty sentence? Anyone found to have murdered someone should have faced the capital punishment themselves for 100%, and we'd see if anyone would kill his neighbor again!

  • Kobby 14 hours ago

    And when is that radical action going to start? It seems some of you are so NDC-obsessed that you fail to look at things holistically. I'm not NPP and neither am I against Wontumi being jailed. However, I disagree that his ja ...
