Nkoranza (B/A), Sept. 25, GNA- A Reverend Minister has appealed to the government to release former Minister of Finance, Mr Kwame Peprah, from prison due to ill health.
The ex-Minister was imprisoned early this year for causing financial loss to the state during his tenure of office in the NDC regime.
The Reverend Kwaku Oduro, 56, a teacher at Akumsa-Domase, near Nkoranza, called on President J.A. Kufour and Vice President Aliu Mahama to grant amnesty to the ailing former Minister. Making the appeal through Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Nkoranza, he asked the government to consider the plight of Mr Peprah “as he is indisposed and forgive him of his mistakes by releasing him from prisons”.
Rev Oduro said what led to Mr Peprah’s imprisonment was unfortunate.
“For the sake of mankind, Jesus Christ who never did anything wrong offered himself for crucifixion on the Cross and as all that we look for on this earth is vanity, Ghanaians should forgive and forget of the mistakes of Mr Kwame Peprah and free him”.
Rev Oduro contested for the Brong Ahafo slot of membership of the Council of State in 1996 and 2000 but lost.
