No one is above the law, so accountability is important, but we can’t ignore the call to show mercy, especially if Ato Essien’s health is truly failing. Our society should reflect Christian values like forgiveness and humane treatment, even for those who have made mistakes. Maybe granting him clemency on medical grounds, with proper safeguards, would be the right balance between justice and mercy. At the very least, this situation should push us to seriously reform our prison system so it respects human dignity for everyone, not just those with high profiles.
