CEO of Brew Marketing Consul and former head of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah, known as NAM1, reflected on the challenging six to seven years of court proceedings, attributing his endurance to divine grace.
In an interview with JoyNews’ Richard Kwadwo Nyarko following the court’s dismissal of his no-case application and order to open his defence, NAM1 acknowledged the arduous journey but expressed steadfast reliance on God’s promises.
NAM1 lamented the plight of his customers with locked funds, emphasizing his inability to disburse funds until the criminal proceedings conclude.
He explained, “It has been painfully challenging but of course what doesn’t break you will make you stronger, and I am a believer, you know whatever God doesn’t permit doesn’t happen so it is fine. It is very fine. I am not a person that complains.”
He assured that once legal proceedings conclude, his company would promptly fulfill its financial obligations to customers.
The court, presided over by Justice Ernest Owusu-Dapaah, dismissed NAM1’s no-case application, ruling that both Brew Marketing Consul and Menzgold must present their defence.
“It breaks our heart that people have had to suffer these unintended consequences. It breaks our hearts but we are before a criminal court and if you know what the criminal court establishment is about, it is not a remedial court.
“It is a punitive court and by extension, a reformative court so you come before a criminal court, you are not here to remedy a situation but we have come to pay the debt.”
He gave the assurance that as soon as the process was over, his firm would be happy to fulfil the necessary payment obligations to customers.
