Locked-up Investment Holders’ Forum have declared that it will resume its picketing today, Wednesday, June 5, following the Finance Ministry’s failure to meet its demands.
Members of the forum are dissatisfied because, despite assurances from Deputy Finance Minister Dr Stephen Amoah, the ministry has not responded to their concerns.
After Dr. Amoah’s intervention, the organisation had earlier decided to suspend their protest; nevertheless, their decision has been reevaluated in light of the lack of participation.
The members are insisting that guarantees be given by the Finance Ministry so that the Bank of Ghana can release money held in bankrupt financing companies.
According to Dr Adu Anane Antwi, the Convenor of the Locked-up Investment Holders’ Forum, the group has been left with no choice but to resume picketing due to the ministry’s inaction.
The forum is determined to continue its protest until its grievances are addressed and its members receive the funds they are owed.
“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 said.
