Aggrieved customers of Black Shield Fund Management have expressed confidence in Parliament’s Ad-hoc Committee to get their locked up funds released.
The customers have had their investments locked since the collapse of the fund management company formerly known as Gold Coast Fund Management.
The Joe Ghartey led committee at its maiden sitting extracted questions from Bawku Central MP Mahama Ayariga who led the customers to petition parliament and Director-General for the Securities and Exchange Commission Rev. Daniel Ogbame Tetteh.
Speaking to Starr News after proceedings spokesperson for the aggrieved customers Charles Nyame questioned why allocations were made in two separate budgets for payment of affected customers but his members did not receive a penny.
Mr. Nyame and other members of the group shared with Starr News the difficulties brought upon them by failure of the government to pay them their investments adding some have died over inability to buy essential drugs to save their lives.
Meanwhile the group has expressed skepticism about the new finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adams.
According to the members previous engagements with him as minister of state before his elevation had all left sour tastes in their mouth.
Speaking to Starr News some of the customers said they have forgiven the minister since his posture might have been as a result of instructions from previous boss Ken Ofori-Atta.
