Transparency International Ghana raises concerns over speed of Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu's acquittal

The Executive Director of TI-Ghana, Mrs Mary Awelana Addah, said although the court's decision must be respected, the timing of the ruling had raised questions that could affect public confidence in the fight against corruption.

Transparency International Ghana (TI-Ghana) has raised concerns about the speed with which the Court of Appeal acquitted former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, of 78 corruption-related charges.

At the time of the NewsFile programme, Ms Tamakloe-Attionu remained in custody after the Attorney-General, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, filed an appeal at the Supreme Court and applied for a stay of execution of the Court of Appeal's decision.
