Locked-up Investment Holders Forum plans ongoing protests to push Bank of Ghana for action
The Locked-up Investment Holders Forum (LIHF) has announced a series of public protests starting Wednesday, March 27, 2024, aiming to urge the Bank of Ghana (BoG) to address concerns regarding locked-up investments.
These protests are scheduled to occur every two weeks until the end of November 2024 unless there is substantial progress before then.
Dr. Adu Anane Antwi, the Convener of the Forum, stated during a press conference in Accra that previous petitions to the BoG have been ineffective, leading to the decision for sustained demonstrations.
He emphasized the Forum’s determination to continue the protests until their demands are met or positive outcomes are achieved from engagements with authorities.
“Since BoG has refused to act to get us our locked-up investments, we are going to embark on a public protest to further press home our demand.”
“The public protest will begin on Wednesday 27th March 2024 and will be done every two weeks up to the end of November 2024 unless something positive comes from the engagements then we stop. Otherwise, we will continue up to the end of November 2024,” Dr. Antwi stated.
He outlined the Forum’s plans to march to the Bank of Ghana to meet with the governor and demand immediate action on their proposals to recover their investments.
Additionally, they intend to march to the Ministry of Finance to meet with the Minister and seek advice and assurance that the BoG will take immediate steps to address their concerns.
