Private legal practitioner Samson Lardy Anyenini has stated that former MASLOC CEO Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu’s 10-year prison sentence will likely commence from the date she is taken into custody in Ghana, not from the date of pronouncement. This clarification follows Tamakloe-Attionu’s return to Ghana after her extradition from the United States to serve a sentence for financial loss to MASLOC.
Legal Interpretation of Sentence Commencement
Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story, Mr. Anyenini addressed the legal nuances surrounding when a prison sentence officially begins. While acknowledging that a literal interpretation of Section 315 of an unspecified law might suggest a sentence starts immediately upon pronouncement, he strongly cautioned against this view.
