 In 2013, a High Court Judge and a Court Registrar were sentenced to 9 months and a year for embezzling $50,000 and splitting up the interest payments once it had been deposited.Though crimes like these often cause a public uproar, many citizens really feel that the source of in justice is the disproportionate punishments for high ranking officials and the common citizen.For example, high level health officials were sentenced to 1 year in prison for stealing approximately $130,000 belonging to another office in Ghana.
