The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has cast doubt on the government’s intentions following the Court of Appeal’s decision to acquit and discharge former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu.
Speaking in an interview after the ruling, Nana Boakye argued that any decision by the Attorney General to challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court would be aimed more at shaping public perception than securing justice.
Earlier on Thursday, July 30, 2026, the Court of Appeal overturned Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu’s conviction and 10-year prison sentence, ruling that the prosecution had failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt.
The decision effectively cleared the former MASLOC boss of the charges that had led to her conviction.
Reacting to the ruling, Nana Boakye initially said he did not believe the Attorney General would proceed with an appeal.
“They are not going to appeal. I doubt,” he stated.
He, however, maintained that should the Attorney General eventually file an appeal, it would merely be a calculated move to convince the public that the government remained committed to pursuing the case.
According to him, such a move would create the impression that the government was dissatisfied with the Court of Appeal’s verdict while allowing Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu to remain free during the legal process.
Nana Boakye further alleged that if the matter reaches the Supreme Court, the Attorney General’s office would not vigorously prosecute the case.
He claimed that the legal team would present what he described as a weak defence, ultimately leading to the former MASLOC CEO being cleared once again.
His comments come amid growing public discussion over the Court of Appeal’s ruling, which reversed the earlier conviction after concluding that the prosecution had failed to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General has indicated confidence in pursuing the matter before the Supreme Court, signalling the government’s intention to challenge the appellate court’s decision.
