In a statement issued on June 15, the party expressed concern over the handling of the conviction of former MASLOC Chief Executive Sedina Christine Tamakloe Attinou and the implementation of recent legal education reforms under the Legal Education Act, 2026 (Act 1170).
The NPP cautioned against any extra-judicial attempts to overturn or weaken the 10-year hard labour sentence imposed on Tamakloe following her conviction on multiple corruption-related charges. The party argued that any intervention outside the legal appeals process could undermine future anti-corruption prosecutions.
The opposition party also criticised the introduction of a mandatory one-year Pre-Bar Course, contending that the requirement is not provided for under Act 1170 and was introduced without the necessary legal and institutional framework.
The NPP further alleged that state security agencies are increasingly being used against political opponents and called on the government to uphold the independence of institutions, respect due process, and ensure equal application of the law.
