Former MASLOC boss Sedina Tamakloe Attionu and Operations Manager jailed

Former MASLOC boss Sedina Tamakloe Attionu and Operations Manager Daniel Axim have been sentenced to jail terms of 10 years and five years, respectively, by the High Court in Accra. They were found guilty of causing a financial loss of GH¢90 million to the state. The court also found them guilty on 78 counts, including stealing, conspiracy to steal, money laundering, and causing loss to public property.

The charges stemmed from their actions at MASLOC, where they raised memos for the collection of funds that were not used for their intended purposes. For example, they could not account for GH¢1,706,000 meant for a sensitisation and monitoring programme for 85,300 beneficiaries of MASLOC loans, and GH¢1,465,035 meant to support victims of the Kantamanto Market disaster.

Attionu and Axim were unable to account for these funds, leading to their convictions. Their sentences serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability and transparency in public office.
