Customers of Gold Coast Fund Management threaten demo over unpaid investments
The customers of Gold Coast Fund Management has set a deadline of 30 June for the government to refund their money
Customers of the defunct Gold Coast Fund Management, who have been grappling with locked-up investments are once again demanding payment.
The group has warned that if the government fails to refund their money, they will campaign against Vice- President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming elections.
Speaking to a crowd in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, the convener of the group, Charles Nyame, expressed deep frustration with the government’s handling of their plight.
“We trusted the system, and invested our hard-earned money for a secure future, but here we are, only to be cast aside like a dead news of yesterday. Where is the compassion? Where is the outrage at the stolen years, the stolen lives?”
He pointed out that many customers have died due to distress, while others continue to struggle under difficult economic conditions.
Nyame criticised the government’s inability to pay locked-up funds despite preaching about financial inclusion and digitalisation.
The group has set a deadline of 30 June for the government to refund their money, threatening to embark on a series of demonstrations if their demands are not met.
“A scream born from the depths of despair, fueled by years of neglect. We would not be silenced by apathy anymore. 30 June is our deadline. Give us back our money, every single cedi, with interest that reflects the stolen years and the shattered dreams,” Nyame said.
