Tamakloe, who served as MASLOC CEO from November 2013 to January 2017, was convicted in absentia on April 16, 2024, and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment with hard labour on 78 counts. Her lawyers filed a Notice of Appeal on May 9, 2024, raising nine grounds of appeal.
The defence's written submission, filed on February 10, 2026, argued that the charges were defective and violated Article 19(2)(d) of the 1992 Constitution. The Court of Appeal's unanimous decision set aside the April 2024 judgment of Justice Afia Serwaa Asare-Botwe at the High Court, concluding that the prosecution's case fell short of the legal standard. Deegbe disclosed that the appellate court based its decision primarily on the argument that the charge sheet was fundamentally defective.
