“The judge might have used the normal principles in the sentencing but she could have used her discretion and lessened the ruling”, he said.
Sharing alternatives for her sentencing, Farouk noted that he would have preferred for Akuapem Poloo to have been given a non-custodial sentence.
“She should’ve been made to sweep the community. When she wakes up in the morning, she should be taken to the areas with heavy traffic congestion to sweep. That way, everyone will see her and it’ll serve as a deterrent and to all”, he told Happy98.9FM’s Don Kwabena Prah on the Epa Hoa Daben political talk show.
