A 36-year-old unemployed man, Foster Nyarko, has been sentenced to two years in prison for stealing a laptop at the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment.
Nyarko, who had gone to the Ministry in search of a cleaning job, pleaded guilty to charges of unlawful entry and theft before an Accra Circuit Court.
The court, presided over by Basilia Adjei-Tawiah, sentenced him to one year for unlawful entry and two years for stealing, with both sentences to run concurrently.
The prosecution told the court that Nyarko had previously been jailed earlier this year for stealing a mobile phone at the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) while job hunting.
