Two men have been sentenced to two years in prison each by the Nsuta Circuit Court. The court found them guilty of stealing a motorbike.
The stolen motorbike belonged to the National Health Insurance Scheme. The theft occurred in Effiduase in the Ashanti Region.
The convicted men are Oppong Stephen, also known as Gye Nyame, aged 25, who is a trader. The second convict is Samuel Owusu Antwi, known as C-Jay, aged 20, a motor mechanic.
The court handed down the sentence after they were found guilty of the charges. This action follows a prosecution by the state.
The National Health Insurance Scheme uses motorbikes to provide essential health services to communities.
