The Magistrate Court at Effiduase in the Ashanti Region has today convicted two persons who were caught on a viral video dangerously transporting timber in the Ejisu town on a busy road.
The two pleaded guilty to the crime and causing danger on the road and destructing the activities of the residents in the region.
According to the Municipal Chief Executive for Ejisu, Samuel Oduro, the two offenders have been fined according to the law.
“The two of them were fined GH¢1,200 each, and they have paid. What the law says is what the Judge will do. Since the judgment lies within the bosom of the Judge, he decided which punishment to be given. If I had my way, the fine would have been bigger but since this is what is within the law, what can I do? But we are okay that they have been prosecuted, and the law has taken its course to make sure that such action is not repeated.” - MCE.
