John Dramani Mahama, The Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in his recent speech made it clear that when he is voted into power he his going to pay all investments made by clients of Menzgold and DKM.
During the official unveiling of his running mate Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang on Monday, the former President said he will pay all outstanding investments made by depositors in the collapsed financial institutions within his first year in office as President.
‘My heart goes out to the many who have been affected by this [NPP] government’s unjustifiable collapse of Ghanaian-owned financial institutions,’ he said. Mahama further added that he finds it very appalling to hear government officials justify the huge amounts it is spending to manage the impact of the collapse, now put at ¢21 billion.
‘I weep for the many who have lost their jobs, the many who have lost their businesses, the many who have lost their livelihood among others. I pledge on behalf of the NDC that we shall pay within one year all who have funds locked up with the collapsed financial institutions. Within one year. I promise!’ he said confidently as his teeming supporters cheered.
