If he can sell all his properties and pay the stolen money to the country, then he should be released. If he cannot, let him die in Prison. He is an economic criminal and must pay the money back before he is released. There are many other people who are more sick than him at the Prison.
Ghanaians, generally speaking are serious economic criminals. Damn fool. By the time he’s done with his Prison Service, only God will know the number of people, including even his very close friends who would have entered into his wife. Even as l am putting this up, one of his friends may be on her with his ROD in her and pushing the waste up and down strongly like the Pistons of an automatic machine. KWASEA LIKE THAT.
YES OOO. NO ONE EVER SAID THAT PRISON IS ONLY FOR THOSE ENJOYING GOOD HEALTH. WHEN THE VICTIMS WHOSE MONEY HE STOLE DIED IN SILENCE IN THEIR HOMES BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AFFORD TO EVEN GO TO THE HOSPITAL, NO ONE WROTE ARTICLES ON THEIR BEHALF 6 months ago

AND NO ONE STARTED STUPID PETITIONS FOR THEM. GO SIT DOWN AND REST. A CRIMINAL BELONGS IN PRISON WHETHER THEY ARE SICK OR NOT.

You know, one thing l don't understand back home is whenever a corrupt politician or a crooked corrupt Rich individual is sent to prison they will always find a way to be sick or gravely ill.. allegedly. I mean just saying! Why? What about the poor ones or the people the system has failed them or were not supposed to be there in the first place because it was a crime they didn't commit? Can they also be fought for and pardoned? If these guys were guilty and sent to prison then that is where they belong. Don't single one person out to be pardoned and leave the rest who might probably be innocent or in remand for years without trials.

Yes, leave him there. He is not the first criminal neither would he be the last criminal to die in jail.

Ghanaians are hypocrites when it comes to the truth and punishment. Please allow the law to work.

He should be released so that he will come and chop the remaining money and laugh at us? Damn ass-hole. It's either he pays all the remaining 60million or rot in jail
