Others in prison deserve justice and have human rights.
Do so for as many as there are in prisons all over the nation.
ARE WE GOING TO FREE EVERYONE EVERY CRIMINAL WHO IS SICK IN PRISON AS WELL? WHAT MAKES HIM A SPECIAL CRIMINAL? MIND YOU, HE'S RICH ONLY BECAUSE HE STOLE PEOPLE'S MONEY.
THE VICTIMS OF HIS STEALING FELL SICK AND DIED BECAUSE THEY LOST THEIR SAVINGS AND THEY COULD NOT AFFORD HEALTH CARE. HE CAN AFFORD HEALTH CARE WITH THE STOLEN MONEY BUT YOU PEOPLE ARE EVEN SAYING THAT HE IS BEING DRIVEN ON D ...

OUR EYES ARE WIDE OPEN TO SEE HOW THE NDC IS GOING TO GO ABOUT THIS ONE. WE’RE NOT FOOLS. A THIEF BELONGS IN PRISON
Why wait for any criminal to get sick before releasing them? Release them all now. And in addition, give each a medal as well.
Shithole country!

John Appea, our prisons are not health farms, they are not luxury hotels. Neither are they gourmet meal spots. Nobody’s health benefits from being incarcerated in Ghana. But you do the crime and you do the time….in jail! ...

There are several innocent people in prison. In fact there's a Doctor in prison who is more useful to society.
The question is, who knows them?
Mahama must be extremely careful not to release this criminal and execute ORAL else he is finished.
EVERYBODY IS A DOCTOR IN GHANA…FOOOOL GO TO NSAWAM AND SEEE THE NUMBER OF INMATES WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITIONS…OGWAN!!!

They seem to play this smart to pretend it's more to do with health.. Are there not many sick in there?
If you can do that for earlier thieves like Atta Aryee, then you do it for Ato Essien too. How special is a liar, thief, crook, criminal, coward, rapist, demon, hypocrite, pretender, wizard, fool, failure, traitor, betrayer, ...

That pickle puss is calling his arse hole self dr ?? And want to lead clemency petition??? A cynic moron?? What a Bullshit. Spits!!
Ato Essien's case should not be treated in isolation. There are so many others in prison, who should also be considered for clemency for various reasons.
After that do same to those who are in prison just because they stole only cassava and plantain. Hypocrite
What kind of clemency? What about the guy who out of poverty stole a goat and is jailed for 10years? Ghanaian intellectuals are hypocrites and the cause of the all the problems therein in this country
Who is advocating for the poor homeless man who stole a phone or robbed a kiosk, how about the goat thief serving 10 yrs in prison...we only think about the political class..it's like the laws are made only for the poor. Elum ...

Who is this jackass too? So criminals with the right connections should never be allowed to serve their sentences? This is why Ghana is not progressing.
Then we exchanged him with the board chairman who has oversight responsibility for all business at the bank.
We shall also petition for the release of all those petty thieves who went to jail because they stole plantain, cassava, phone and goat.
Why should l
high ranking thief be released over a petty plantain thief?

A fraudster should be pardoned? Hmmm Ghana
Petitions should be made on behalf of all prisoners. We should forever close all Prisons. Why should Ato who squandered million of cedis be pardoned. His crime resulted in a weak currency and the economic quagmire that his c ...

Dr Apea. Please, I expect more explanation from an Oxford graduate like yourself. If you don’t have better explanation then don’t open your mouth pls.
I totally disagree with his human rights aspect. Where were his conscience and human rights when he was diverting state funds into his business?
Did he think of the economic and social rights of the people?
Did he think o ...

This foolishness must stop . There are many people in jail who committed similar crimes to that if Ato Essien and no body is pleading for their clemency.
If Ato Essien believes he is innocent he must ask his lawyers to take ...

What is unjustified and unfair is for Ato Essien to have abused the funds of depositors and shareholders of the bank.
Ato essien did the dirty job for Otabil to enjoy so let him die in jail and enjoy in heaven.
If he is pardoned, then all CRIMINALS like him in Nsawam prison MUST also be pardoned. Total RUBBISH n NONSENSE.
John apea look we were here when Victor Serlomy died. They were all the same. Let him rot in jail. You hypocrites should stop bothering the president Nonsense
Sounds like we should investigate this guy fully. Sounds like he wants to set precedence just in case he gets swept up.
Well said but what happens to the 60 million Gh cedis?
Is going to be a bad debt or it's to paid and if it can't be paid what happens?
Nonsense talk!. Is he more human than those jailed for stealing goats and phones?.
What is the pressure you want put on the president the one his use his money for to become you didn't go to his For current president John Mahama have compassion
