Sedina appeal ruling gives hope to Wontumi appeal — NPP legal director

His comments come days after the Court of Appeal set aside the conviction and 10-year prison sentence imposed on Ms Tamakloe-Attionu by the High Court in a case involving alleged financial irregularities during her tenure as MASLOC Chief Executive.

Mr Nimako contended that the legal reasoning adopted by the Court of Appeal in the Sedina case could equally prove persuasive in the appeal filed by Chairman Wontumi, who is challenging a 20-year custodial sentence imposed by the High Court over offences linked to illegal mining activities.

The Legal Affairs Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gary Nimako Marfo, says the recent Court of Appeal decision acquitting former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, has strengthened his confidence that Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will also succeed in overturning his conviction on appeal.
