Ghana journalists we don't say SENTENCE WITH HARD LABOUR,the correct thing to say is SENTENCE IN HARD LABOUR.
Who be this? Grammar school teacher?
That man who thinks he knows better than anybody in Ghana should keep quiet. He is only trying to be sympathising with Wontumi but inwardly he is fake. He should come home and educate those illiterate galamsey idiots to stop ...

Wontumi is the only one doing Galamsey in Ghana we hear.
If you have evidence that someone is doing it too, the courts are widely opened.

This is politics at its worst. How can a country like Ghana be governed by leaders who appear more focused on imprisoning their political opponents than on promoting peace, unity, and national development?

another stomach vigilante ! he lost all respect by his actions. trust him at your own peril. Dangerous as a serpent
I wonder why a few section of Ghanaians are condoning wrongdoings. It is well established that illegal mining has taken place and since Wontumi owns the land for the mining, he cannot escape being guilty.
What business is that? That a land that contains gold is given to an experi3nce miner to reclaim the land by planting coconuts without money but he I 3xpected to reclaim cost in many years to come after the expected coconut y ...

So what happens to Henry Okum who did the actual mining. Is he left free to go? Or is Wuntumi carrying his cross for him? I see political witchunting.
This has always been my question oooooo.
Apt judgement. The man is just too arrogant and lawless. But my question is why do we fight so hard to gain riches only to end up this way. Or better still knowing how susceptible mankind is to death. Lets draw a lesson from ...

With all this illegal mining in this country, how many of them have been jailed? I'm yet to see these Chinese destroying our land to be imprisoned for a long time. Wontumi shouldn't be a scape goat. Real enforcement should be ...

Azar,are you normal? Read the judgement, and the whole Court procidience, don't come out with false Statements.
This case raises a number of unanswered questions. The most obvious one is: what was the rehabilitation cost that supposedly justified allowing an equivalent value of gold to be mined? There appears to be no public explanatio ...

So, the Henry Okum man, is the country not interested in prosecuting him? Based on his own witness statements, can’t we prosecute him as well? He was an accomplice to wontumi. Anaaa? I lack comprehension.
NDC used him as the prosecution witness against Wontumi. Henry Odum the real galamseyer is free. NDC shall do absolutely nothing to him.
So what's happens to Henry Okum who carried out the illegal mining?
What happens to the concession
My simple question is what about the chines in the area of galamsey. They did introduce the so call chanfan in this country.we as people should not hang our own and leave those foriegners. I side by the judge if there was no ...

Brief and concise write-up to the ordinary person.
If I am in the government now I will build more prisons ,cos current serving ministers,dces,mmces and other political appointees will be languishing in jail jail sooner or later
Well explained, but my question why would the judge give a first time offender more than half of the maximum conviction years.
At least half or less than half is better.20yrs made the judgement too harsh and excessive.
Dear Azar, if Okum is a small-scale miner knowing mineral regulations and that transfer of one's concession to another needed the Minister of Minerals letter of authorization, why did he not insist getting it before going the ...
