Sedina Tamakloe Acquittal: Prof Gyampo says corruption fight cannot survive prosecutorial incompetence
Sedina Tamakloe was the subject of a recent Court of Appeal judgment, which led to her acquittal. Political scientist Professor Ransford Gyampo reacted to this ruling, stating, "The judgement of the Appeals Court speaks to tremendous flaws that should pale emotional sentiments.

He argued that convictions can only be secured through evidence-based prosecutions led by skilled legal professionals who understand the law, due process, and the protection of human rights. President John Mahama has pledged to tackle corruption through initiatives, including Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
