What about the armed robber, Highway robbers and Pen robbers?
If those arrested had any meaningful jobs doing, many will not be in this oldest job

There more questions than answers. How can this reporter do a story from talking to the police only The police are a party to this case, you know?
RED SKIN , PURPLE SKIN OR WHITE SKIN ?
Punishment does not make sense.
This is absolute nonsense, do you think most of these girls would be there at that hour if they had GHS 720? What is Ghana turning into, do these so called judges have any sense at all in their heads? The person has not got m ...

THE ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS IS HAVING A SERIOUS EFFECT ON THESE LADIES.ENGAGE THEM IN MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT AND THEY WILL STOP.
Just leave them alone and hunt the armed robbers. All they are doing is looking for money to make a living in the absence of jobs.
Tag them for a reasonable period of time and leave them.
If they had that amount they wi ...

Prostitution is not a crime. Provide them with alternate earning options or leave them alone.
l pray God deliver them and grant them new life of happiness as they will learn to know that their body is for Christ and is not good to be use as prostitution.
Fines and punishments make this CONDITION poorer and vulnerable/open to more attack, criticism and temptation.
The government/organisations and the general public must give some support and assistance. DONATE TO MAKE SOMEONE ...

Taking them to prison with hard labour if they cannot afford to pay is primitive and more barbaric than the activities of these women. Give them a year to pay in installments or do community service for a couple of months. Th ...

Why waste our Legal and police system with prostitutes. First we allow them to be on the streets for 10 years, even joking with the police sometimes at the barrier in front of the Togo embassy and then arrest and prosecute th ...

Mahama, God will surely punish you for all the wicked things you are doing to this country . You politicians are shameful leaders, people are suffering and dying because of your greedy acts..... God will judge us alll .
An injustice I called it. How does one identify a prostitute (caught in the art as a prove) or just an assumptions)? And in a case, were they given a fair trial with human right defence lawyers? Were they given the right to s ...

Provide work for all these prostitutes before you can bring your men to arrest them. If they have job they would not be in the street.
How were these alleged prostitutes convicted?. What were the evidences that they were prostitutes?. dressing?, standing outside during late hours? or stopping cars ?. The courts need to re-examine how the alleged prostitutes ...

Arrest the venal politicians and leave the women of easy virtue alone.
THIS IS UNCALLED FOR. THE IGP MUST CALL HIS MEN TO ORDER. THE POLICE ADMINISTRATION MUST LOOK FOR WAYS OF PROTECTING INNOCENT CITIZENS RATHER THAN CHASING SO CALLED PROSTITUTES. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GET GH¢720.00 TO PAY F ...

Is this enough deterrent? Some will have to go back to prostitution to be able to pay GHC 720!
they should find them jobs to do instead taking money from them cause the money they will give is from what they do.
LOOKING FOR MONEY TO PAY GAS FOR THE POLICE
WOYOME IS TILL WALKING WITHOUT ANY PRISON TERMS
