Samuel Agyarko, the Public Relations Officer for the Aggrieved Menzgold customers today staged a demonstration to present a petition to the Presidency as part of demanding payment of their locked-up funds during the financial sector clean-up.
In an interview with Spice 91.9 FM earlier today, he notes that it’s been four years since their funds got locked up and there seems to be no hope in sight to retrieve their monies.
“It is exactly four years since Menzgold collapsed and customers have used many avenues to retrieve their investments, but it appears there are no results. So this time around, we want to petition the President for a presidential intervention,” He said.
He says, it is necessary for the government to get the Chief Executive Officer of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah to pay funds owed the customers.
Mr Agyarko, however, demands that the authorities use the Security and Exchange Commission Act 929 to ensure their monies are paid with interest.
Meanwhile, since the collapse of the gold dealership firm, it is reported that about 179 persons who invested their monies in the unlicensed gold trading company have passed away.
Most recently, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame recounted the negative impact of defunct gold dealership firm, Menzgold Limited on Ghana’s financial sector.
He said the fallout from the collapse of the firm has caused distress to many Ghanaian homes and unleashed a social crisis.
