Alfred Tuah Yeboah, the deputy attorney general, has backed the Community Service Bill's implementation.
Advocates have previously lobbied for the decriminalisation of infractions of a lesser gravity and the adoption of community punishment in the nation's legal system.
He contends that a community sentencing law is necessary to provide those who commit minor offences and are found guilty by the court the chance to change their ways.
"I've always believed that if you slap me, I had to smack you back, but times have changed. We now examine systems that provide for the accused person's rehabilitation as well as those that allow for some form of restitution for the victim.
If you combine the two, he said, you can have a scenario where the accused doesn't go to jail but instead makes a significant contribution to society.
Speaking on JoyNew's The Law on Sunday, he said the measure will assist to curtail those who behave without consequence in the nation since they can afford to pay any fines imposed by the courts.
He presented an illustration of the advantages of community service.
"As lawyers, we might drive around town, and you have the money to pay the fine in court, but there needs to be a community service order where you go to Makola and help, to make sure individuals like us won't swerve into traffic."

He claims that the culprits' efforts may be applied to solving certain pressing problems that the developing nation pays experts to resolve.
Mr. Yeboah said that the Ministry of Justice intends to set up a community service framework for those who have been found guilty of misdemeanour offences.
The plan, according to the Deputy Attorney-General, will only be used for crimes carrying a maximum sentence of three years in jail, a fine, or both.
He said, "Today the proposition put forward now is that it will be better to put them to useful use than of letting them languish in jail."
