    How can a Criminal pardon his fellow Criminals? An innocent woman from his own wife's hometown was kept in Cells for 21days unjustifiably, this Wicked Gonja man and his illiterate wifeLordina never blinked an eye on her.

    Who can be worse as an illiterate than you Kay? Smart people with wisdom do not make assertions or accusations without proof or reference to documented data.

    I don't see how it makes sense to pardon criminals. I find this very unintelligent and inconsiderate. If prison is so bad, then people should learn to behave well and avoid getting in, simple.

    On the other hand, if crimin ...

    America is not the yardstick. Just that it’s a universal norm. Even God, the creator himself forgives underserving humans.

    I feel sad for members of Assemblies of God Church, this man don't qualify to be a Christian. Everything about John Dramani Mahama is FAKE. I would not be proud to have him in my Church. Such a Hypocrite

    No worries. Most of the churches in Ghana are corrupt, perhaps, including yours.

    Please is wuntumi among them or not?

    The guilt in Corrupt President John Mahama would never allow him to file for Nolie Prosequi for Chairman Wontumi. The President has been trapped by his own conscience

    We hope chairman Wontumi is not among them. Because if he is released it sends a bad signal to our justice system. That politicians will always use the systems to their advantage.
