In a passionate plea for relief, the Coalition of Aggrieved Customers of Menzgold has turned to President Nana Akufo-Addo and Minister of Finance Mohammed Amin Adam, urging them for a financial bailout. Apexnewsgh reports
The coalition is requesting a substantial amount—specifically, GHS200 million—claiming that this sum is crucial to prevent further tragedies among its members.
In a statement released on November 25 and signed by Convener and PRO Fred Forson, the coalition underscored the dire situation they are facing. They noted that the ongoing crisis has already led to the deaths of over 230 customers, a stark increase from the less than 100 fatalities reported when they initially sought assistance in 2020. The coalition expressed that the proposed bailout would offer vital support, stating, “This amount would help save members from further deaths.”
The group emphasized that the seized assets of Menzgold could be used as collateral for the bailout, demonstrating their commitment to cooperating with the legal proceedings currently underway. “We are fully aware of the criminal case in court,” the statement continued, “and we have cooperated fully with the Office of the Attorney General.”
The urgency of the request was clear, with the coalition demanding a response from the President and the Finance Minister by close of business on Monday, November 25, 2024.
In a striking conclusion to their statement, the coalition warned of potential political consequences, threatening to withdraw their support in the upcoming elections. “Either a bailout or a vote out,” they declared, making their position clear as they seek the help they desperately need.
