The Court of Appeal in Ghana has overturned the conviction of Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, the former chief executive of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), according to Graphic Online.
The court acquitted and discharged Tamakloe-Attionu on Thursday, July 30, 2026, Graphic Online reports. The ruling reverses her earlier conviction, which had stemmed from her tenure at the state microfinance agency.
Tamakloe-Attionu was originally convicted on charges related to her role at MASLOC. The specifics of the overturned conviction were not detailed in the available reporting. Graphic Online and other outlets, including CitiNewsroom.com, confirmed the appeals court decision.
Legal analyst Brako-Powers told 3News he doubts the Attorney General will appeal the Court of Appeal's ruling. Journalist Manasseh Azure, quoted by Modern Ghana, described the acquittal as "shameful and scary."
The case has drawn significant public attention in Ghana. The Court of Appeal's decision marks a major legal development for a figure who once led a key government lending institution.
Observers will now watch for any response from the Attorney General's office regarding a potential further appeal.
