According to the controversial lawyer, the judge, Justice Kyei Bafoour should have been harsher in his sentence.
He said he harbours mixed feelings but “I am so proud that I am a member of the office of the court and the fact that the judge was able to distinguish himself by given the ruling based on evidence”.
“But I am disappointed in the sentence because someone steals a goat and receives 10 years or more jail terms then we had the opportunity to send a strong signal to politicians and we messed up.”
Maurice Ampaw is of the view that the law is too harsh on the vulnerable but flexible or lenient on the rich and politicians.
