Sedina Tamakloe-AtionuInvestigative journalist and coordinator of the civil society-led Pledge Against Corruption campaign, Manasseh Azure Awuni, has filed a right to information (RTI) request to the Judicial Service, asking for detailed timelines of Sedina Christine Tamakloe Attionu’s appeal.
She was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison by the High Court (Financial Crimes Division) on April 16, 2024, after a trial in absentia.
While the Court of Appeal judgment has generally been received as sound, doubts still linger in the minds of a section of Ghanaians about the timelines of her appeal.
Manasseh’s RTI request of the Judicial Service seeks to lay the matter to rest.
It seeks an explanation of the nearly two-year delay in notifying the Attorney-General’s office of the appeal, as well as key evidence of the filing timelines.
