Sedina Christine Tamakloe Attionu <\/strong><\/p>\n

Some former appointees of the erstwhile John Mahama administration besieged the new court complex yesterday to show solidarity for the former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance & Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Christine Tamakloe Attionu, who has been charged with stealing state funds.<\/p>\n

Former Attorney General, Marietta Brew
\nAppiah-Oppong, former First National Vice Chairman of the NDC, Betty Mould-Iddrisu
\nand Spokesperson for Mr. Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, were all in court to
\nthrow their support behind the MASLOC boss.<\/p>\n

The three appear to be heeding the call by
\nformer President Mahama, who urged party supporters to show solidarity to
\nmembers of the parties who will be dragged to court.<\/p>\n

Last year, the former president, on many
\nplatforms, called for support for his appointees who may be dragged to court
\nfor their alleged involvement in crimes while at post.<\/p>\n

Some party faithful have since that call stormed
\nvarious court rooms to support some appointees of the Mahama-led NDC era for
\nvarious crimes.<\/p>\n

The latest to be hauled before court is the
\nformer MASLOC boss Sedina Attionu, who is being accused of causing GH\u00a293,044,134.66
\nfinancial loss to the state.<\/p>\n

Charged along Sedina Attionu is Daniel Axim, who
\nwas the former Operations Manager at MASLOC, under whose watch the alleged
\nmisuse of public funds took place.<\/p>\n

Selective
\nSolidarity<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Accra High Court (Financial and Economic
\nDivision) was packed to capacity when the former MASLOC boss made her first
\nappearance.<\/p>\n

The former NDC appointees were there in their
\nnumbers, as one of their own was being charged for allegedly stealing money
\nfrom the state while in office.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the former Board Chairman of the
\nNational Communications Authority (NCA), Eugene Baffoe-Bonnie, and four others
\nwho are on trial for conspiring to, and successfully causing financial loss to
\nthe state have been left to their fate.<\/p>\n

Hardly do any of these former Mahama appointees
\nmake an appearance in court when their case is called.<\/p>\n

Ms. Attionu, however, seems to have found favour
\nwith core Mahama appointees who were in court in their numbers, just as they do
\nin the trial former CEO of COCOBOD, Dr. Stephen Kwabena Opuni.<\/p>\n

The former president has been rumoured to be
\ngearing up to storm the court to show solidarity to his favoured appointee.<\/p>\n

Marietta Brew Appiah-Opong and Betty Mould-Iddrisu
\noccupied the front seat as the charges were read and the pleas of the accused
\npersons taken.<\/p>\n

Also present were Joyce Bawa Mogtari and former
\nMinister of Youth & Sports, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah.<\/p>\n

Charges<\/p>\n

Together, the two are facing 78 counts of
\ncharges, including conspiracy to steal, stealing, unauthorised commitment,
\nresulting in a financial obligation for the government improper payment, money
\nlaundering and contravention of the Public Procurement Act.<\/p>\n

The two accused persons allegedly stole a total
\namount of GH\u00a23,198,280 while at MASLOC and willfully caused a GH\u00a21,973,780
\nfinancial loss to the state.<\/p>\n

Again, Ms. Attionu and her accomplice while in
\ncharge of MASLOC allegedly made unauthorised commitments resulting in financial
\nobligations for the government to the tune of GH\u00a261,735,832.50.<\/p>\n

The charges against the two also include
\nGH\u00a222,158,118.85 loss to public property and improper payment of GH\u00a2273,743.66,
\nas well as money laundering of GH\u00a23,704,380 while in charge.<\/p>\n

Per the facts read by the Attorney General,
\nGloria Afua Akuffo, Ms. Attionu misappropriated an amount of GH\u00a2500,000 of
\nMASLOC money invested in Obaatanpa Micro-Finance Company Limited (Obaatanpa
\nwhich was later withdrawn due to 24 per cent interest demanded).<\/p>\n

She said the former MASLOC boss rejected a
\ncheque issued by Obaatanpa covering the money and instead demanded that the
\nmoney be refunded in cash.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Ms. Attionu met the Board
\nChairman of Obaatanpa at Baatsona filling station in Accra during the night
\nwhere she took the cash sum of GH\u00a2500,000.00 which never went to MASLOC.<\/p>\n

They all stayed behind till the end of the court
\nproceedings but could not wait to see the accused persons execute the bail
\nterms.<\/p>\n

Ms. Attionu has been granted bail in the sum of GH\u00a25 million with two sureties while Daniel Axim\u2019s bail terms were set at GH\u00a21 million with one surety.<\/p>\n
