    If a gota thief get 5 hrs what about Alfredo Wayomi who have defraudes THE nation to THE túnel of 51 million?God Will punish Alleghannies THE ladres in Ghana.

  • KWAME 10 years ago

    Atta, do you have anything telling us that Wayomi defrauded Ghana? The payments were authorised by our law courts. Here we are, my brother.

  • WHICH COURT??++ 10 years ago

    I thought you had something sensible to say. Authorized by same ndc idiots. If the goat thief was authorized by his girl friend, would you accept that? you are the one who should be quiet.

  • tic-toc 10 years ago

    Well said. I cant believe he made such a stupid comment. The sentences meted out to the poor man on the street compared to what we see being handled to serious crimes conducted by the stealers is just bad.

  • Kofi Bergye 10 years ago

    Watch your words;they are discriminatory and do not address the topic at hand. It's the same as the racism in Europe and throughout Western countries where they classify minorities as less than human and, therefore, undeservi ...

  • MIKEY 10 years ago

    The Asante King is uncircumcised. Does it make him a Northner? I am a Northner and I have been circumcised for just one week short of when I was born over 40 years ago. Let's stop insulting other tribes and think criticall ...

    YEA I THINK IF THEY JAIL HIM FIVE YEARS IS OK SO THAT WHEN HE COME OUT OF THE PRISON EXPERIENCE OF LIFE WILL TAKE TO HIM AND HE WILL STIK TO THE STATEMENT THAT A HAND THAT THUS NOT WORK DOES NOT EAT.

  • Yoofi 10 years ago

    He should have have become a politician , footsoldier, MCE, DCE or an NPP or NDC Assemblyman.

    Being a Ghanaian politician gives you immunity from prosecution and you can steal as much as $51 ala Wayome or $100m ala GYEEDA ...

    This man must be a Nigerian or friend of Nigerians

  • kofib 10 years ago

    This sentence appears extreme for a first time offence that does not involve violent acts. Was he given the maximum sentence for stealing?
    Wish the reporter had done a bit more investigative work about this case.
