Former MASLOC Boss will face justice- Deputy Attorney General

The Deputy Attorney General, Alfred Tuah- Yeboah has expressed the government’s resolve to bring the Ex-MASLOC Boss, Sedina Tamakloe who is currently out of the country back to Ghana to face justice.

Former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MASLOC Sedina Tamakloe Attionu was yesterday sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard labour while former Chief Operating Officer of MASLOC, Daniel Axim was also jailed for five years with hard labour.

Addressing the media after the court delivered its judgement yesterday, Mr Tuah-Yeboah said in the cause of trial they made it known to the court that the issue of extradition may be tackled but the pre-occupation at the time was to make sure the matter proceeded to finality and it has been achieved.

According to him, they are now going to take the next step, “When it comes to extradition, sometimes you start and you have blocks, the person may choose to appeal and all manner of things but this is the situation we have the final judgement.”

“It is not as if we are bringing you here to be tried, where you can raise all the defence out there that they are persecuting you. Very soon, she would be brought down to Ghana to face justice,” he disclosed.

He also advised all public office holders to be cautious of handling monetary issues when in office and urged them to acquire copies of the judgement and read them to serve as a guide in discharging their responsibilities.
