Lawyer, journalist and host of Joy FM's Newsfile, Samson Lardy Anyenini, has described Parliament's passage of the Community Service Bill as a landmark reform that will make Ghana's criminal justice system fairer by reducing the imprisonment of people convicted of minor offences solely because they cannot pay fines.
