The Attorney-General’s Department raised concerns that key exhibits presented by the prosecution during the trial of former MASLOC Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Christine Tamakloe Attionu, were missing from the record of appeal before the Court of Appeal acquitted and discharged her.
In written submissions filed on April 1, 2026, the Attorney-General informed the appellate court that the record placed before it did not contain any of the exhibits tendered by the prosecution during the original trial.
The State indicated that the documents available in the appeal record were only some of the materials disclosed to the defence before the commencement of proceedings.
According to the Attorney-General, although the appeal record was incomplete, the State proceeded with its submissions based on prosecution notes because it only became aware of the appeal after the Court of Appeal had already directed the parties to file their written arguments.
The State argued that the absence of the prosecution exhibits was a significant concern, as the materials relied upon during the trial did not form part of the record before the appellate court.
It maintained that only disclosure documents were available, rather than the complete set of exhibits presented in support of the prosecution’s case.
The Court of Appeal, however, on Thursday acquitted and discharged Ms Tamakloe Attionu after overturning her conviction and 10-year prison sentence, ruling that the prosecution failed to prove the charges against her beyond reasonable doubt.
The Attorney-General has since announced that the State will appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.
