The appellate court delivered its judgment on Thursday, July 30, 2026, ruling that the prosecution had not proven its case against her beyond reasonable doubt.
Asaase News reported that the decision set aside all convictions entered against her by the lower court.
Tamakloe-Attionu had filed an appeal contesting both her conviction and the circumstances of her trial and sentencing, which had proceeded in her absence.
Her legal team raised two central arguments: that the charges against her were fundamentally defective, and that the prosecution failed to meet the criminal standard of proof required to secure a conviction.
The Court of Appeal found those arguments persuasive and granted the appeal in her favour.
Why was Sedina Tamakloe first convicted?
According to the facts of the case, which was first filed in court in 2017, the Economic and Organised Crime Office investigated certain fraudulent disbursements of the centre's funds involving Tamakloe and Axim.
The investigations showed that in June 2014, MASLOC, which has been the subject of other scandals, invested GH¢150,000 in Obaatanpa Micro-Finance Company Limited, a microfinance company located at Ejura in the Ashanti Region.
Afterwards, Tamakloe-Attionu offered Obaatanpa another sum of GH¢500,000, but the firm refused because of the high interest rate.
However, the expected refund was not reflected in the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre's books.
