Customers of the now-defunct Gold Coast Fund Management Company were camped out at the Ministry of Finance’s entrance on the evening of October 10, 2023, demanding the release of their frozen funds.
These aggrieved customers have been persistently clamoring for the disbursement of an approved amount of GH¢8.6 billion, as sanctioned by Parliament, in order to resolve their outstanding claims. Disenchanted by the prolonged delay in accessing their funds, they took to the streets in protest at the ministry on Tuesday, October 10, 2023.
Originating from different regions across the nation, these customers united with a clear intent to stage a 48-hour-long demonstration, parking themselves at the ministry premises to underscore their plea. However, their endeavors failed to attract the requisite attention from the ministry.
Charles Nyame, the spokesperson for this collective, clarified that their decision to spend the night at the ministry was a deliberate strategy, meticulously calculated to send an unequivocal message to the government, fervently urging them to honor their financial commitments and responsibilities.
