Members of the Locked-up Investment Holders’ Forum have announced a weekly picketing at the Ministry of Finance (MoF) as they accuse the government of not honoring the promise of paying their locked up funds.
According to them, they have put on hold an earlier protest after the Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. Stephen Amoah, assured to address their concerns.
The group has been putting pressure on the Finance Ministry to guarantee that the Bank of Ghana will be able to release funds held in defunct financial companies.
Addressing the media, lead Convener of the Locked-up Investment Holders’ Forum, Dr. Anane Antwi said, the group will embark on weekly picket at the finance ministry until their demands are met.
“We suspended to have with the Minister or the Deputy Minister to have the meeting with us. So if that meeting is not coming on then there is no need to hold on to the suspension. So we are resuming the picketing today and once we have resumed we will be picketing every Wednesday.
“Even if they want us to meet on a Wednesday, they have every right to call us and we will meet them,” he added.
