He deserves it,compare him with those ruling the nation including the boss himself who deserves to be in Prison.Infact Mahama and his cronies have stolen more than Ataa Ayi,mind you JJ & his family also kill to be rich.

The nation should not be fooled by this criminal new self-acclaim status. Where was this self-acclaim new find life behind the bars when he was administrating instant cruelty to his victims? He had the opportunity to save multiple lives outside the walls of the prison but the life of other a nightmare. Therefore, for the sake of justice and for victims who are voiceless today, let this criminal rot in the four corners of the bunker

Mahama must be careful in dealing with people like Ataa Ayi. Is he the only person who want freedom? The crimes and conviction of some inmates were not up to that of Ataa Ayi but they are there. Cheap popularity.

It's about time presidents stopped giving unwarranted amnesties to hardcore criminals and killers on every July 1.Would these politicians give amnesties to killers of their children or family members on buses or in their homes? Did Mahama consult the victims' relatives before giving out the amnesties?

Time to stop this foolish political gimmick - at the expense of the victims every year.

How can such a notorious armed robber be released after serving just 10 years? He's pleading for what, clemency? This is a trick. These arm robbers are smart as ND will always put the fast one on every body. The guys is pretending.
Ok, granted he's really repented but he's still has to serve his prison terms.

The release of this guy will only encourage other armed robbers to intensive their robbery. After all, they could rob, kill innocent people and only if they are caught, sent to jail for a while and have their freedom.

Please, Mr. PRESIDENT, do not grant this guy any pardon. Yes, God might have forgiven him all his sins but he's to pay for the atrocities he committed against innocent people.

Those who are against the release of Ataa Ayi do not really understand what prisons are meant to do for criminals.Prisons are there not only to punish but also to reform.Despite his past notoriety if the prison authorities who have been monitoring his behavior believe that he has reformed and therefore poses no danger to the public he can be recommended to be paroled and released.He can be released and monitored and recalled to prison if he breaks any of the conditions for his release.The important thing is what happens to him after his release.Is he going to be homeless and unemployed,a situation that can drive him back to his old ways?

You have just proved there are still intelligent people in Ghana. He can be made a youth ambassador for the government, lecturing the youngsters on the effects of crime and how it affects society. He can also lecture the authorities on prison reform. We hate what atta ayi did but he still remains a human being and if he has truly changed, there's no reason why he cannot be released and monitored.

And your point is? Kwabena,this is Ghana and not the UK.Who is going to monitor Ataa Ayi and get him back to prison should he reoffend?
You mentioned homelessness and unemployment.Why should he be any different from the teeming numbers of unemployed graduates?Next,you will be saying the State should find accommodation for him.
This man is serving 160 years in prison and should definitely not be released after 10 years.His numerous victims are serving life sentences six feet under the ground.Why should he be given preferential treatment?He is asking for clemency but did not show the same to his victims.If prisons in Ghana are choked,build some bigger ones.Ghana should not follow the discredited UK approach and start giving hardened criminals soft prison sentences.A leopard never changes its spot.

**“Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security. If you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the United States, I'd have to point to Russia.”

**Incoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said these words at the Senate Armed Services Committee at his confirmation hearing.

www.militarytimes.com/story/military/capitol-hill/2015/07/09/dunford-confirmation-hearing-russia-china-top-threats-joint-chiefs-of-staff-chairman/29912233/

Twenty four hours earlier, U.S. Air Force Secretary Deborah Jones made a similar statement. " "I do consider Russia to be the biggest threat,” James told Reuters

Later in the day, a State Department official said at a media briefing that the entire US military command has come to the conclusion that it is about time to take a massive military action against Russia and the statements of the two senior military officials are a reflection of the mood in Washington.

Already..NATO/US are amassing troops on the Russian borders and almost have Russia encircled.

For me personally..it is a welcome news...Hitler killed over 20 million Russians in his ambition to dominate the world....

Let see how many Obama and his commanders would kill in order to achieve their vision of total World dominance.

Let's get ready to rumble !!! .........

Ghana managed by petty minds.If the prisons is congested,to put hardened Criminals back in the Streets the best and only option to decongest the prisons,instead to renovate and expand the facility.Why do officials don't want to Spend Money to do the right thing to keep people safe from Criminals?. Why do Officials think Ghana should take a foreign loan to Satisfy a Campaign promised Sanitary Pad to appease some Village School Girls(remember!),rather than a foreign loan to expand existing prisons.Over the years,what did past and present gov't planned to improve Conditions in the Prisons(nothing).
In the case of "Ataa Aryee", an extremely dangerous person to Society,jailed for 160 years.If he personally knelt to beg the leadership
coupled with good behavior behind bars,do you pardon to reduce his Sentence or you Set him free for serving only 10 yrs out of 160 yrs?.It doesn't make Sense to me to free such a person.Having said that,I do not think Woyongo know what he's about. Woyongo himself has exhibited to be dangerous to Society in his utterances and Should be relieved of his position as the Minister of Interior.

The son of a gun terrorized them as if there was no tomorrow in his newly found freedom. God always gives us a sign to fore warn us about life. If we are going to act stupid and let out a killer who did despicable acts and hide behind born again nonsense to fool us, go ahead and set him free. We will be sorry when the first victim pleads for help but will get none from him.

Ataa Ayi looks really well in prison. He is playing a very good role there. He should continue in his role until he served the full 160 years. The good people of Ghana outside the prison walls will have the chance to live free of Ataa Ayi for the remainder of Ataa Ayi's life.

TO IMPRISON IS NOT ONLY TO PUNISH BUT TO HELP REFORM THE PERSON. THOSE AROUND HIM SAY HE HAS REFORMED. WHY DO YOU OPPOSE HIS RELEASE. ATTA AYI HAS TO BE RELEASED TO CONTINUE A NORMAL LIFE.

Never release this killer thief. Born again in prison? There is no room for him operate his deeds hence his behaviour now.

Ghana needs penal reform period. Our sentences are too harsh for starters. Much of the offenses were foisted upon us during colonialism they often harm no one but the perpetrator. It's a waste of money and talent. What is a 92 year old doing in prison. Why does a grandmother in her seventies face seven or more years for growing NTAMPI, I could go on ad nauseam.
