Kennedy agyapong was right to call all the top npp members as thieves, if akans npp party can support this man kennedy and even call him as their HEROES when he declared and call for AKANS to kill the GA'S and EWE'S ,He even go ahead that the AKANS must lynch any security personnel, whenever they dare to come to their aid. Why kennedy becomes a bad person now if he only said the truth and called the AKANS Npp party gurus as a thieves? kennedy must go to the Disciplinary committee to demand his $1.5million, is that how the npp treat their Heroes?

Ghana is now more than George Orwells " Animal Farm" where some animals are more equal than others. For Gods sake, how does a petty thief get jailed for stealing a chicken while another, an NDC stalwart is allowed to go scot free after amicably resolving to refund millions of tax payers money he looted and shared with some sacred cows in the NDC. The constitution of Ghana says everybody is equal before tha law. But this is a farce under Mahamas NDC. I WEEP FOR MY COUNTRY-GHANA!

It is becoming more and more evident that this ndc government does not know what it is about, how can you come to an agreement with someone who has taken or been given illegal money. It is a crime to abet, to receive "stolen property" how do you justify giving someone you are asking to provide a service an interest free loan when you are paying them for the service.

So as long as you don't get caught you are home dry. this is the way it is in Ghana today, when a motor bike being sold for 6,000.00 on the market can be sold to the government for 17,000.00. Home Dry.

The mediocrity is going to be the end of our freedoms, if we do not wake up and hold our leaders accountable. Awake Ghana.

The last time K. Boateng stole Cassava, he was jailed. Why not these professional thieves? Recoup the money but still jail them for others to learn a lesson out of this.

When there is such massive fraud, you tell Ghanaians you have come to an agreement with the perpetrators to refund the stolen money and that's it!

Criminals of the highest order.

So they will do it again, hoping they are not caught; and if caught, they will promse to refund the stolen money, in return for no prosecution.

And in the meantime, our friend in the street has stolen a fowl and has been jailed for 3 years.

You guys are a bunch of criminals. Your day will come.

You can take Ghanaians for a ride, for some time, ut you'll account, one day.

All these and someone is telling us the 'young man' is fighting corruption!

It should have been long jail time or refund plus shorter jail time. A refund settlement only is just to prevent people from talking and giving up the big people behind the fraud. The refund money will be becoming from another government stolen fund. As things stand, high level fraud against the state of Ghana will continue, as long as Mahama and this NDC government remain in power.

If you are lucky you won't get caught. The money is yours to keep. If you are unlucky, you will get caught and the AG will negotiate with you for full refund (minus any interest), because after all if AG takes you to court, the ultimate aim is to get a refund and it will be a waste of state resources to take you to court and try to jail (penalize) you for embezzling.

Oh Ghana! Where in the world has it ever occurred that people caught in stealing from the state are been given an option to refund the money without suffering any kind of punishment? If thieves could refund the they stole them no one should be sent to jail when caught stealing, except the thief could not refund the stolen item. It is time the Human Right groups in Ghana fight for the poor and lesser thieves to be released from jail if they could refund their stolen items. What is good to the goose is also good for the gander Oh Ghana!

This is a politically tainted decision for which the AG and her boss, President Mahama, must be tried and jailed in future. You do not fight corruption by asking thieves and looters to just return their loot without any punishment. It is an invitation to all to loot and refund only if caught. What kind of values is this NDC Administration instilling into Ghanaians by such a bad and politically tainted decision? Is the entrenchment of corruption what we need in our country? NO WONDER WE HAVE A BITTER GHANA INSTEAD OF THE BETTER GHANA PROMISED BY THIS BUNCH OF THIEVES.
