Deputy Attorney General, Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has revealed that the government has found Sedinam Attionu Tamakloe.
The former CEO of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedinam Attionu Tamaklo, was convicted and sentenced to 10 years of hard labor, escaped from the country.
Even though she was sentenced, Tamaklo is currently overseas and not in prison.
During a discussion on Sompa FM in Kumasi, Mr Tuah-Yeboah revealed that the government is working with American partners to help bring her back to Ghana.
He explained, “Sedinam Attionu Tamaklo, who served as the MASLOC boss under the NDC administration, was involved in theft. It is shocking that she engaged in such activities. The judge sentenced her accountant to five years in prison for assisting her.”
While the trial was ongoing, Tamaklo was allowed to pursue medical care outside the country but failed to come back.
Mr Tuah-Yeboah stated, “Before the case concluded, she moved from the US to London and then back to the US. She is currently unable to leave the US. We have filed all necessary documents and she will be extradited soon. We monitor her movements daily and once she is back in Ghana, her jail term will commence from that day. Her sentence serves as a lesson for public officials to work diligently.”
Furthermore, authorities intend to seize her assets and hold responsible the individuals who paid her bail, totaling five million Ghana cedis.
