Three labourers of a Chinese firm working on a new hospital project for government at Twifo Praso in the Central Region have been jailed 24 months for stealing copper pipes. Jeff Otoo, 22 years; Emmanuel Amoah also 22 and Daniel Quansah 23 years were said to have on May 3 at about 7:45am, removed copper pipes, which were fixed on the walls of the Obstetrics and Gynaecological building of the hospital. According to police prosecutors, the three who are labourers of China Geo Engineering Co-operation Ltd cut the pipes into 43 pieces and heaped them in a bag. The material engineer of the company together with the resident engineer were on patrol duties at about 12:30pm the same day when they spotted Amoah and Otoo wandering about in the building. Though when questioned as to what they were doing there at the time, they could not give tangible reasons, they were made to go.
