Speak law, not emotions - Amaliba fires back at Mercer on Sedina Tamakloe's release
Abraham Amaliba, former Director of Legal Affairs of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), rejected claims by Andrews Agyapa Mercer on Wednesday, August 12, that the release of former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Christine Tamakloe-Attionu, vindicates the opposition party's concerns about selective justice. Mr Amaliba stated, "How can a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction become a matter of 'we told you so'? It cannot … I think that we should speak law and stop speaking with emotions."
Mr Amaliba argued on Joy FM's Top Story that Ms Tamakloe-Attionu's release was the logical consequence of her acquittal and discharge by the Court of Appeal. He stressed that the judiciary is an independent arm of government and its decisions must be respected. Mr Mercer, a lawyer and member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), had stated he was not surprised by Ms Tamakloe-Attionu's release, arguing it reinforced concerns about the government selectively pursuing cases involving political opponents.
