Though I agree with argument that there are times innocent people are slapped with the sentence, there are also many times that the culprits are the right ones caught by law. What happens to these? I am also a staunch Christian and I would not like to see someone take the life of another and then go scot free. Otherwise the crime will be multiplied.

Dear Honourable Judge,
I would say that the statement below spoiled your case:
"...We can put him away and leave justice for the Lord to determine… .."
Ooohooo. Based on your analogy as above, my humble question to you is: WHY THEN DO WE NEED THE JUDICIARY ITSELF?
Let God solve all WRONGS then.
Long live Ghana

We need the death penalty on the books for corrupt gov't and public officials. It should be a special statute that deals with such miscreants quickly, indeed, speedily since the actions of such miscreants results in the death indeed, akin to genocide of countless number of Ghanaians from such reprehensible and irresponsible acts.
In China for example, it is the most robust and the most rigorously enforced law which is adhered to very, very strictly and strongly and you know what, even with that, some are manage to slip through. Imagine a situation where it does not exist such as in Ghana, where the NDC gov't sees governance as a looting and thieving exercise into the sunset of blissful retirement?
It is needed like already and should be made available to corrupt gov't and public officials just as it is in China.
China did not grow it's economy to become trillions and trillions of dollars rich, absence the death penalty of corrupt gov't and public officials.
Ghana needs the death penalty for corrupt, thieving, looting gov't and public officials pronto.

Is it only NDC government that's corrupt? What about the previous government , NPP ? Kufour came to office with the slogan zero tolerance for corruption , but what did he say when questioned what he was doing about corruption in his government ? What was his answer ? Idiot like talks as if only NDC government that is corrupt who should face the death penalty . I refer you to read the Auditor General Reports between 2002 and 2006 and see the massive corruption by government appointees and public officials and one needs not to approach corruption with politics ; it's national disaster . What about the alleged $5000 paid to each parliamentarian too see the Ghana Telecom deal through during Kufour's time ?What about the sale of state lands to KKufour and his cronies ? What about the sale bungalows with reference to Jake Obetsebi Lamtey?You might have been dead between 2000 and 2008 when Kufour was in power so you were not aware of what happened . Come again.

Kufour was the most corrupt and tribalistic president ever to rule Ghana. Haruna Esseku, former Chairman of NPP said Kufour used to load bribe monies from contractors into he (Kufor's) car boot at the presidency. Kufour was the president when ODURO-NYANING, NANA ANTWI BOASIAKO Deputy CEO and Board Chairman respectively of Ghana Telecom fraudulently siphoned $1 million monthly from GT account to Telenor of Norway for a period of 18 months and shared amongst themselves. Kufour was aware of the fraudulent transactions and as a cover-up quickly ended the contract with the Norwegians, and left the Deputy CEO and Board Chairman intact because they are are Ashantis and NPP strong men. Kufour once said Corruption started with Adam and therefore corruption did not bother him.
It is therefore no surprise that former President Rawlings chastises him at the least opportunity as being corrupt. President Rawlings is right; Kufour most corrupt president ever!

Be serious.
Currently on the whole of the Africa continent there are no greater corrupt and looting thieves anywhere on this African continent than in the John Mahama NDC gov't.
So we need the death penalty pronto to deal with such miscreants whose conduct and actions can be likened to mass murder as described by John Dramani Mahama.

The death penalty should be reserved for certain crimes. Corruption is not one of them. In every society there are people who have given up on life and would resort to heinous crimes knowing very well that the only punishment they will receive is spend the rest of their life in prison and be fed on tax payer's money. When such a person is sent to jail for life what is the justice in that and how does it deter others in the same situation from repeating the offense? Can I pay such a person to takeout my perceived adversaries. Death penalty is a necessary evil in every society. It's for cop killers, especially in those in line of duty, acid attackers if the end result was death, terrorists, serial murderers, armed robbers whose activities lead to the death of a victim(s),people who murder kids and women for reasons only known to them. We don't need soft judges. We need dynamic judges who will stand up to the challenges facing the country. Tweaaa!

In Ghana, I hate people saying hypocritically they're Christians. How come corruption is so rife in the country? It is my belief Ghana should be among the wealthiest states in the world taken for granted that those who believe in God are about a whooping 85 percent.
The corruption and thievery in Ghana by Christians and muslims has killed millions so stop drawing analogy between Christianity and the fact that you hate death penalty.

It is better to leave 99 suspects free than to jail 1 innocent person. That useless talks is what some judges use to free criminals only for them to go back to the communities to commit more crime.

"Unless proofed beyond any reasonable doubt, a person accused of any wrongdoing is Free " How does Justice Appau,agree or disagree with this Statement ?.
Again,in the Holy Book,it is stated that "he who kills by the Sword will die by the Sword,and the wages on Sin is death"etc .Again,some of the laws is God made,or has its roots from the foundations of Creation,adopted by man. Therefore, I don't personally think there should be any modern day personal Christian interpretation of such laws to satisfy our individual feelings.For,it is written " do not rely on your own understanding " These laws are there for the Security or Safety of mankind.I do not think Justice Appau should personally experienced an attack on his life to Vote for the death penalty when the need arise.It's worthy to note that, Nations which took the lead to abolished the Death Penalty in the early 1960,have hurriedly - Reintroduced it.Justice Appau, please answer-Why do you think those Nations reintroduced the death penalty?. Again,if God should be the Judge,when someone has actually committed an offense in the Community/Society/Country,then
Justice Appau: What is your use as a lawyer ?. Unless you retract/withdraw your Statement,one could easily infer that,you are an embarrassment to the law profession!
If these are the Kind of Justices we have in the Country,Justices who would leave Corrupted Public Officials for God to deal with them,when? ; then Ghana has an unimaginable problem.And no wonder Corruption is not punished.The Country's Attorney General do not even know she has the sole right to call for investigations both public and private (police & AG investigators),in corruptions of National interest. Anyway.

Also, the death penalty should be there for armed robbers and politicians etc who dip their filthy hands into the state coffers.
