    Yes , Wontumi is entitled to the grant of bail while he pursues an appeal to his conviction.

  • COMMENT 23 hours ago

    The President offered a blanket of pardons. Should Wontumi fall within the bracket, he would be granted an automatic release.

    Galamsay is a national disgrace and tragedy. It’s obvious the politicians don’t want to do anything about it rather than play games with it. In the Antwi Bosiako case the person who benefited from the illegal actions beca ...

    What a cynical and a foolish pride answer from you and Atta Akyea. Can these postures obtain mercy and pardon for Wontumi? What good advice was given him to stop?
    Galamsey is in it's present level because Nana Addo encourag ...

    Just listen to Atta Akyea carefully on this matter and you know Ghana is in trouble with such mindset. So he's saying the galamsey menace is so widespread that, the law shouldn't prosecute the big men engaged in it. How's thi ...

    Considering President Mahama's govt failure to handle the galamsey crises there is no justification keeping Wontumi in jail. The message going out in public is he's a victim of the political system

    Does this make sense? There`s a lot of galamsey activities going on, based on that the president should consider pardoning one of the kingpins of the menace. What about deterrence?

    @ODS, is that how stupid you are? If he wouldn't beg and your Wontumi is dying, who cares? In fact, you these NPP animals must never be made to see power again, because you are all straight and pure animals indeed

  • Stone 21 hours ago

    you know, prominent people are engaged in Galamdey, and tjerefore the presiden should pardon your client. What kind of logic is this? You say he is a political prisoner? Defend your client and leave the president alone.

    The President must not even think of pardoning Wontumi.

    Is Atta Akyea serious? What crooked argument is that? That Wontumi deserves pardon because galamsey is widespread. I would think that Wontumi's incarceration is very apt punishment for a swollen headed law breaker. Until Aku ...

    Atta Akyea don't see the seriousness of the ecological disaster created by Galamsey. Atta Akyea should be given a glass of water from the Ankobrah River to drink every day so he can enjoy Galamsey.

    Wontumi needs no pardon. He’s in prison for what he’s done. Despite the fact that galamsey is still alive. Atta Akyea can as a citizen arrest anyone indulging in the act and present to the security agencies for prosecutio ...

    Galamsey is wide spread so he should be pardoned, is that what you're saying. This is childish talk. If you wanted to go and ask for clemency for your client, go do just that and stop the antics.
