The Aggrieved Menzgold Customers have stated categorically that they will not give up on the fight in demand of their locked-up funds.
The group’s convener, Fred Forson, said some have made claims that the case involving the defunct Menzgold company will yield no results.
But reacting to these remarks, the convener posited that no amount of negative influence will stop them from demanding the release of their funds.
“There were those who claimed that this case will not yield any positive results. We, however, did not allow that to discourage us. We have remained resilient in ensuring that our concerns are addressed. It was because of our resilience that the then Attorney General dragged Nana Appiah Mensa, aka NAM 1, to court.
At the High Court, NAM 1 and some others were charged. At the last hearing on December 17, we nearly got a conviction. We are to court back to court on February 4, 2025. We provided our witnesses and presented our case. A prima facie case has been established against NAM 1, and he is expected to file his response. He has again filed a case at the Court of Appeal.”
He said the Menzgold saga was a multifaceted issue, and so they made several attempts to deploy different means in addressing them; hence the reason they petitioned parliament.
The provisional figure of members, he said, was 11,008, with the number likely to reduce or increase.
He also estimates that they will require approximately Ghc 200 million to pay the 11,008 members whose funds were locked up with the defunct company.
He urged President John Dramani Mahama to include them in his first budget statement.
He lamented that all efforts to retrieve their frozen funds had failed, and they hoped that the new government would address the issue.
