The courts don't hesitate to punish the average citizens for petty crimes, but gargantuan thieves gets no jail time.

What a shame? Judge, use your brains. How much will it cost to keep this petit thief in prison? Why not supervised community service even at the place where he sold the sacks? Why not sentence him to fill pot holes, clear roa ...

What a shame? Judge, use your brains. How much will it cost to keep this petit thief in prison? Why not supervised community service even at the place where he sold the sacks? Why not sentence him to fill pot holes, clear roadside bushes or desilt gutters for a month. Judge, use your brains.

If merely taking 2 fertilizer bags worth GH¢ 66.00 is rewarded with imprisonment for half a year, then Pres JM who authorized the payment of allowances and salaries to non-working MPs will be jailed for a googol years for deliberately and willfully causing financial loss to Ghana. Shame unto these judges.

The corrupt thieves known as politicians, don't go to jail, not even for murder. But a poor guy stole a common fertilizer and he's facing jail time. What a bunch of crap!

we live in a crazy world that people work like the ant and eats like the elephant while others work like the elephant and eats like an ant. One person conniving with one party, for their selfish ego, stole the nations money worth GH50 million and justice couldn't prevail, the current government illegally smuggled Ghana's gold worth 80 million dollars and later said it wasn't a real gold,nothing was done, and the most annoying part, the president's younger brother took a loan from a Ghanaian bank to buy a private plane without paying back leading to the collapse of our local industries and the economy and nothing was done....... A farmer stole a fertilizer for his cocoa, and he has been jailed? The government should come out and tell us how much profit they earn from these farmers product and lets compare if they are not rather the once stolen from them. So the judges didn't have any better alternative way of punishing the farmer than sentencing him? the output of this farmer only is gonna decrease and cos the total turnout of cocoa this year. its very pity, if Mother Ghana boast herself that agriculture is the backbone of our economy.

This is absurd. Sentencing guidelines must be reviewed otherwise the poor will always face injustice. This is too hash for a poor man who stole bags that have no value.

I suppose the case of afari gyan and john mahama is going to be severe if people can be arrested for stealing cocoa fertliser bags.
We live to see.
