Locked-up investment holders forum to resume picketing June 5

The Locked-up Investment Holders’ Forum will resume picketing at the Finance Ministry on Wednesday, June 5, following the Ministry’s failure to engage the group as promised.

The group suspended an earlier protest following assurances from Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. Stephen Amoah, to engage members over their grievances.

The group has been demanding that the Finance Ministry provide assurances to enable the Bank of Ghana to pay funds locked up in defunct financial firms.

Convenor Forum, Dr. Adu Anane-Antwi, told Citi News that members are left with no option but to resume picketing. 

“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.”
