    If Mr. Aryeh is a parliamentarian, then God help Ghana.I believe Mr. Aryeh is a thief himself. Where in this world will it take approximately $200,000 to transfer $25 million.

    Why can't that Wayomey Guy face the full wrath of the law? Ghanaian law is effective only in some cases. There is no Justice in the country that is why any radical is able to take us for a ride.

  • Nnn 9 years ago

    If this guy gets 15years for what he is alleged to have done, then Woyome should be looking at something like life sentence. It is ridiculous what the Ghanaian justice system can do

    Selective justice by the fake justice. Hopefully, there is no tribal line in here otherwise the thing will end bad. It is too much, this foolishness.

    If this guy receives 10 years which is too much, what is Woyome getting? ...

    This MP must be investigated.

  • Dan 9 years ago

    The member of parliament should equally be prosecuted for entrusting unlicensed individual to contact business for him. He is condoning and conniving with him to invade taxes. I believe he is not above the law.

  • Oheneba Quaye 9 years ago

    How did the MP get $25 million? Why didn't he use a legal bank to transfer the money if it was legally gotten? The police need to investigate that. This is a case of thief Stealing from thief.

  • JK 9 years ago

    Oheneba,
    Like you, I suspect that Aryeh is less than honourable, but there is nothing wrong with believing that indeed the other guy actually had access to the $25 million. He is stupid to have gone along with it.

    Aryeh ...

    The complainant should be jailed as well for money laundering attempt. If this is a legitimate transfer, it would not take GHC600,000 to transfer the money. THIS COUNTRY CALLED GHANA IS A JOKE!
