James Kwabena Bomfeh, head of CenCES, is calling for a greater emphasis on recovering potentially lost state funds in the case of Sedina Tamakloe, the former CEO of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC). Bomfeh argues that pursuing financial restitution should be prioritized alongside any potential sentencing. The case centers around allegations of financial mismanagement during Tamakloe’s tenure at MASLOC. He believes that recovering lost funds is crucial for accountability and restoring public trust. Bomfeh’s statement highlights a broader concern regarding asset recovery in corruption cases within Ghana. This approach, he suggests, would demonstrate a commitment to not only punishing wrongdoing but also recouping losses for the state. The focus on asset recovery aims to ensure that those who benefit from illicit activities are held fully accountable.
