Customers of the collapsed Gold Coast Fund Management Company took their grievances to the doorstep of the Finance Ministry, spending the night at the entrance to demand the release of their locked-up funds.
The group, comprised of individuals from various regions across the country, converged outside the Finance Ministry’s premises, with one resounding demand: the release of an approved GH¢8.6 billion by Parliament to settle their outstanding claims.
Despite assurances from government officials, these aggrieved customers claim they are yet to receive the funds that were sanctioned by Parliament for their settlement. Frustrated and determined to secure their financial rights, the customers vowed to picket the Finance Ministry for an uninterrupted 48 hours, intending to draw attention to their plight.
Charles Nyame, the convener of the group, highlighted that their decision to spend the night at the ministry’s entrance was a deliberate move to send a powerful message to the government. He stressed that they are urging the government to fulfill its financial obligations and ensure that the funds are released without further delay.
This protest has brought to the forefront the enduring frustration of Gold Coast Fund Management customers, who have waited anxiously for the release of their locked-up investments.
