President John Mahama has stated that implementing non-custodial sentences for minor offenses will save taxpayer funds.
He explained that this policy aims to reduce the financial burden on the government associated with jailing individuals for less serious crimes.
Non-custodial sentences include community service and other forms of punishment that do not require imprisonment.
This approach is expected to make the justice system more efficient and cost-effective.
The President believes that focusing resources on more serious crimes will benefit the nation.
