Claims that the former CEO of MASLOC, Sedina Christine Tamakloe-Attionu, is under house arrest, are not true, Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed.
According to him, Tamakloe-Attionu is currently serving her sentence under the supervision of the Prison Service, which is responsible for the management, welfare and placement of all inmates in the country.
“She is in the custody of the Ghana Prison Service. They know how to handle people. If somebody needs help there, they know how to take care of her.
“I can assure you and let me put it on record, she is not in any house. She is not under any house arrest,” he told Joy FM on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
The Minister also refuted a claim by the President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, that Madam Tamakloe-Attionu is under house arrest. He challenged Mr. Cudjoe to name the said top government official that gave him that information that the former CEO of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) was not in custody of the Ghana Prison Service.
“If Franklin Cudjoe tells you that [Sedina is under house arrest], he is not telling you the truth. Let him name the so-called top government official who told him that,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Minister refused to give details about the health condition of the convict which has become very topical in the country, insisting that such matters fall strictly under the mandate of the Prison Service.
“I don’t have information on her medical condition. It is not my place to discuss it,” he stated.
According to him, the Prison Service determines how prisoners are managed and where they serve their sentences, and will communicate officially where necessary.
