Five years in prison for a stealing plantains is way too harsh but I guess he got the stiffer punishment because he's a repeated convict. It's sad because he's probably without a job & hungry.

The serious fraud office has done nothing about the theft of ghana funds..stealing 3 bunchs of plaintain should not require more than 3 month of jail and really 3 weeks would probably teach the theive a lesson!

It depnds on how many bunches of plantain you can buy with only GHc 51 million. divide the figure by three, and multiply the result by five.
But Woyome says he did not steal the money, but it rather given to him by Betty Moulds, with the chief state witness, Barton Odro even testifying that the complainant(state) has no case. Martin Amidu(prosecutor), was sacked 'with immediate effect' by the alleged faultless and Holy President Atta-Mills. Barton Odro has now been promoted to be Deputy Speaker of Parliament

IT'S TIME THE GOV'T PUT THE RIGHT SERVICES IN PLACE. THIS PETTY THIEVERY DOES NOT WARRANT A PRISON SENTENCE. THE GUY TO ME HAS A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE AND REQUIRES TREATMENT RATHER THAN PUTTING BEHIND BARS TO INCREASE HIS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE. HE CAN BE HEALED WITH MEDICATION AND BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY. IF THE JUDGE HAS A CLUE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH LAW, HE WOULD NEVER HAD GIVEN THIS GUY SUCH A SENTENCE. AFTER ALL THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF VIOLENCE ASSOCIATED WITH HIS CRIME. HE CONFESSED WHEN CONFRONTED. THE JUDGE IS AN ANIMAL, A PURE BUSH MEAT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GHANAIANS WHO HAVE STOLEN MILLIONS OF CEDIS FROM THE NATIONAL COFFERS AND ARE WALKING FREE IN OUR STREETS. EVEN MEN IN AUTHORITY. STUPID JUDGE. IDIOT.

How on earth can any 'right thinking member' of the bar do this act of ;madness'.
The society could have find out why he is in that stealing spree? probably lack of job is the pushing factor. Why not give him a custodian sentence or better still employ him as a cleaner or anything of the sort in the judiciary service to help him make earns meet?
Yes, he may be an ex-convict and so what? l weep for mother Ghana with such kind of leadership.Time will tell.

When a hungry man takes plantain he gets sentenced into jail for five years with hard labor.
