Guys i want to draw your attention to a trend on Ghanaweb. Any time Chairman Wontumi is dmake an appearance in court, Erastus Donkor and two other fools working with Ghanaweb are directed by the NDC to throw stories on the media to make him look bad. Also the guys who insult here espacially the guy who starts with huuu, or ony3 s))mli kukurudu are part of a farm created by the NDC to inuslt people who criticise John Mahama.

Womtumi has two more potentially damaging court cases hanging on his neck that can give him 35 more years in custody. He will definitely flee from country if given bail.

Wontumi owes the Exim Bank. That is a civil case. Repayment plan for Bank loan involves no jail. Trating a bank loan as a criminal offence shows the NDC Attorney General has personal hatred for Wontumi. Even Ibrahim Mahama who issued dud cheques to the Ghana Merchant Bank was never imprisoned for the criminal offence.

Let us focus on the issue and stop this overlay partisan nonsense. Are you aware he asked for a plea bargain on the bank case. That failed because his offer was rejected. If he was that sure of his innocence why the offer. Forging documentations to obtain that marked money is punishable.
And he has this other serious mining case where he is charged with mining without a license. That is a potential 25 year jail term. This is looking at the reality of the issues he is facing not using passion or wishing him evil.
There is no way he will take this. He will definitely abscond if given bail.

If Wontumi is released then Ghana will never survive in this world. Ghana will be cursed more than Sodom and Gomorrah.

WONTUMI THE ONLY WRONGDOER IN PRISON
The EPA HAD NOT CAUSED THE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT of those who are doing land reclamation and restoration of waterbodies WITHOUT EPA PERMIT. EPA issued a mere written warning!!!!!!!

Why would Wontumi flee from the country if granted bail? Is he going to jeopardize his/her bailor's property that would be used as surety? The fact of the matter is, Wontumi would not be incarcerated for life. NDC is setting many bad precedents. The tables may turn one day.

Seizure of the passport will not prevent him from fleeing. Have you forgotten that a well connected Rev minister was caught with more than one passport with multiple names and ages?

THIS IS AN INSULT TO GHANAIANS
After polluting the environment: land, rivers, air, food, water, resulting in thousands dead and many thousands battling kidney and liver diseases, you want to be freed? Is that not insulting Ghanaians? We expected Wontumi to stay quiet in the prison as a way to show remorse, look at the annoying behaviour he’s exhibiting!
