When the crime wears a white collar, the consequences often wear kid gloves

If you live in a government bungalow and still collect rent allowance, it’s often dismissed as a minor audit finding—if discovered, you’re simply asked to refund the money.

In one case, a public officer simply refunded ₵152,768 after being exposed—no prosecution, no record, just a quiet repayment.

But steal cocoyams from a farm, and there’s no talk of refunds—you’ll be sent straight to Nsawam, perhaps to plant plantains.

When the crime wears a white collar, the consequences often wear kid gloves.

GOGO will flip the script.

No more refund-for-looting schemes. If you loot with a pen, the law will treat you no differently (perhaps more harshly) than if you steal with your hands.
