    What? For this long list of serious infractions only a fine of GHc 9,600?? The State must appeal against it. A re-trial must be ordered from above. We must use this case to visit a heavy fine on Kaola to serve a deterrent t ...

    This fine is a fraction of their daily turnover. Daily! But the effect of the discharged faeces alone(cholera spreading) will last for months. Was the judge bribed?

    This is a good move, but the fine is not deterrent enough.

    The public toilet on the Obom road in Kasoa is also connected to the public drain thereby discharging faeces into it. The first on the left from the junction.
