Court of Appeal panel changes are routine, not evidence of interference - Samson Lardy Anyenini
Samson Lardy Anyenini, a private legal practitioner and host of JoyNews' Newsfile, dismissed suggestions on Sunday, August 2, on JoyNews' The Law, that changes in the composition of the Court of Appeal panel handling the appeal involving former MASLOC Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Christine Tamakloe-Attionu, indicated judicial interference. He stated, "It is the standard established practice in the Court of Appeal for different panels to sit on a single case across various stages of the court proceedings."
According to Anyenini, such changes are a normal administrative practice within the Court of Appeal and should not be interpreted as an attempt to influence case outcomes. He explained that the Court of Appeal sits in panels of three judges, and different panels may handle various stages of the same case depending on the court's roster and administrative arrangements. When Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu's appeal first came before the Court of Appeal in February 2026, a panel dealt with preliminary and procedural matters, but a different panel was assigned when the substantive appeal was ready for hearing and judgment. This rotation of panels is an administrative mechanism aimed at distributing the workload.
