Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 05, 2024, the Locked-up Investment Holders’ Forum will resume its picketing at the premises of the Ministry of Finance.
This follows the government’s failure to engage them over their locked-up funds as promised by Dr. Stephen Amoah, the Deputy Finance Minister.
Dr. Amoah had promised to engage the members on their grievances, an assurance that made them suspended an earlier picketing they intended having.
The group has been demanding that the Finance Ministry provide assurances to enable the Bank of Ghana pay funds locked up in defunct financial firms.
Dr. Adu Anane-Antwi, convenor of the group, has been saying that the government’s refusal to heed to their demands nor engage them as promised leaves them with no other option than to hit the Ministry.
“We will be resuming our picketing this Wednesday, June 5, 2024, as the meeting that was promised by the Deputy Minister for Finance, Dr. Stephen Amoah, with us after he returned from his trip on May 27, 2024, has still not come on.
“I sent the Deputy Minister a text message and a WhatsApp message last Thursday reminding him that we are still waiting for him to call us for the meeting.
“We still have not received any response whatsoever from the Ministry of Finance, and therefore…this coming Wednesday, June 5, we are resuming the picketing,” he told Citi News.
