been sentenced to 3 months in prison. The judgment was delivered
Saturday by an Accra Circuit Court which also fined him 500 penalty
units and also ordered him to pay back all monies owed SSNIT. George

aspirant was reported to have been whisked way to begin his jail term
immediately the sentence was delivered. The Head of compliance and
Prosecution at SSNIT, Kofi Sackey, confirmed this to Joy News. Mr.
Aggudey was arraigned before the court in February for non-payment of
a total of over GHC 2.6 million SSNIT contributions of his workers.
