NPP alleges political motive behind former MASLOC CEO's acquittal

A statement issued by the Office of the Attorney-General and Ministry of Justice, and shared by the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, said the decision to appeal followed the Court of Appeal's ruling delivered earlier on Thursday.

However, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice has directed the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to file a notice of appeal at the Supreme Court against the Court of Appeal's decision.

In a statement signed and issued by the General Secretary of the NPP, Mr Justin Kodua Frimpong, yesterday, the party expressed shock and dismay over the ruling, which overturned Ms Tamakloe-Attionu's conviction and 10-year prison sentence imposed by the High Court in April 2024 for stealing, causing financial loss to the state, money laundering and breaches of the Public Procurement Act.
