It said the complainant then told Agyemang that he wanted a Massey Fergusson tractor with plough. The prosecution said Okoro gave the price of the tractor and the plough to be GH?150,000.00 It said, 'the complainant, who was not having the money, contacted Farm Line Company Limited, a company that helps farmers in various ways to buy the tractor for him to use it to work and pay back.'
