Wontumi's Bail: A Legal Comparison Sparks Debate in Ghana

Ghanaian Politics: A Comparison of Wontumi and Woyome's Bail Conditions Accra, Ghana – The recent arrest and subsequent bail conditions set for prominent political figure, Wontumi, have sparked a debate about the fairness and consistency of the Ghanaian legal system. The discussion was highlighted on Channel One TV, featuring an interview with Isaac Boamah-Nyarko, the MP for Effia. Nyarko drew parallels between Wontumi's case and that of Alfred Agbesi Woyome, a previous high-profile case. "How different is Wontumi’s case from Woyome’s?" This was the central question of the Channel One TV program. Nyarko pointed out that Woyome's bail was determined by the court, not by the Office of the Attorney General. He questioned the justification for Wontumi's significantly higher bail amount, stating, "What is the justification for the bail condition of 50 million?"
