Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah says government is commitment to extraditing the former CEO of MASLOC, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, to Ghana to serve her 10-year prison sentence.
The High Court handed down the sentence on Tuesday, April 16, following her conviction on various charges.
In addition to Madam Tamakloe's sentence, the court also sentenced Daniel Axim, the former Chief Operating Officer of MASLOC, to five years in prison.
The verdict signifies a significant development in the legal proceedings surrounding the mismanagement of funds at MASLOC.
Deputy Attorney General Tuah-Yeboah commended the court's decision and emphasized the government's determination to ensure that justice is served.
He underscored the ongoing efforts to facilitate Madam Tamakloe's extradition back to Ghana to commence her prison term, indicating that necessary legal procedures are being followed.
“Good news but what is refreshing is that she will be brought down to face the sentence, no problem at all,” he stated.
“We have started the process but with this judgment, it’s going to speed up the process. You know in Ghana we have various laws. You can choose to stay away but so far as we have laws for which you can extract from other countries to Ghana, in case there is a judgment against you like this one, be rest assured that she will be brought down to face judgment,” he added.
