The Ghanaian justice system must never lose sight of its rehabilitative purpose, nor should it risk becoming an indirect tool of cruelty through systemic neglect.

If it is indeed true, as confirmed by medical professionals, that Mr. Essien’s condition is life-threatening and beyond the capacity of the prison health system, then it is imperative that we, as a society, act swiftly—not out of sympathy for the crime, but out of commitment to humanity.

"Mr. Essien" is not better than the other Mr, Ms, or Mrs falling sick and dying in prison, for centuries and for the centuries to come

Should he be released so that he returns to enjoy the money he stole? whilst his victims have died and some continue to be in very difficult situations because of his actions? Is Ato Essien the only person sick in our prisons? Let's stop hypocrisy and allow people face the consequences of their actions....else people will continue to take advantage of all of us

THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW FIRING SQUADS ANYMORE!! 4 months ago

So let the prison walls do the job for us. If you don't want to face the firing squad of the prison walls don't touch the taxpayer or other people's money otherwise you will face the walls of Nsawam!

DO YOU REMEMBER IBRAHIM SIMA OF EXOPA FASHIONS???

Wasn't Ibrahim Sima, a remarkably great talent, mercilessly "executed", as you put it, when he was incarcerated? Did you start a campaign for his release?

It is a lie. Since he was imprison he had been lying comfortably at the 37 military hospital not at Nsawam. It is a lie. However, the government is not prosecuting his criminal colleagues any longer, including Dufour, who mismanaged the bank to the financial detriment of the country. Resetting the country backwards, indeed.

Is he the only prisoner with a serious health condition?Please advocate for improved health conditions for all inmates and not Atto Essien only.

Just a ploy to release him. Is he the only prisoner in that situation? Even those of us not in prison, what is our situation when it comes to healthcare? They will surely free him; GH for you.
