Alex Mould In Trouble …Over ‘Missing’ Mahama Girl
The former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) under former President John Dramani Mahama administration, Alex Mould and one Gavivina Tamakloe, are set to appear before the Accra High Court next month.
The two who stood surety are expected to appear in court on July 5, 2022 to assist the court find whereabouts of the former CEO of the Micro-finance and Small Loan Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Christine Tamakloe Attionu, who with one other, are standing trial over allegations of stealing, and money laundering, breaches of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) Act, among others.
The two, Mr Tamakloe, formerly with National Theatre and Alex Mould, executed a GH₵5m bail sum as sureties for the Ex-MASLOC boss.
Unfortunately for them, Mrs. Attionu, who is the 1st Accused has since October 2021 unexpectedly been absent from court.
The pharmacist was granted permission to travel outside for medical check-up but according to media reports, she has since not made herself available for the process.
Efforts to get her in court to mount a defence to charges have proved futile.
Indeed, Mrs Attionu, who until months ago was very active on social media has been off for some time now.
A check on her Facebook wall shows, the last time she was active was last year when she changed her profile with a picture of the late Dzifa Aku Attivor, a former Transport Minister under John Mahama.
Her apparent absent from court has warranted the order for the two to appear before the High Court next month.
Per the forfeiture processes filed by the state, the two are to come to the court and explain why they should not pay the GH¢5m bail sum to the state.
Meanwhile, Daniel Axim, a former operations Manager of MASLOC who is the second accused person was present in court.
They have been dragged to court for allegedly stealing, causing financial loss to the state to the tune of GH¢93 million, among other charges.
Together, the two are facing 78 counts of charges including conspiracy to steal, stealing, unauthorised commitment, resulting in a financial obligation for the government, improper payment, money laundering and contravention of the Public Procurement Act (PPA).
The two accused persons allegedly stole a total amount of GH¢3,198,280 whiles at MASLOC and willfully caused a GH¢1,973,780 financial loss to the State.
Again, Ms. Attionu and her accomplice while in charge of MASLOC allegedly made unauthorized commitments resulting in financial obligations for the government to the tune of GH¢61,735,832.50.
The charges against the two also include a GH¢22,158,118.85 loss to public property and improper payment of GH¢273,743.66 as well as money laundering of GH¢3,704,380 whiles in charge.
