Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has emphatically stated that he’ll not be paying Menzgold customers should the NDC win the 2020 polls.
This is in sharp contrast to what the NDC’s National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi emphasized. He emphatically stated on Asempa FM that the NDC will be paying back all monies of customers with defunct financial institutions including Menzgold.
According to him John Mahama’s promise to pay back all locked up monies will cover all customers of these defunct financial institutions and there’ll be no discrimination; Menzgold customers will have their share.
However, speaking on the Morning Starr Tuesday, Mahama refuted promising he’ll pay back Menzgold customers if he comes back as President.
“I’ve never said I’ll pay Menzgold customers, I said we’ll investigate and find out what is the extent of indebtedness, what are the assets of the company. Are there any hidden assets that you can lay hold of and dispose of and pay some of the customers…”
“It looks like this government has been reluctant to investigate or even go after those who took people’s money in that fraudulent manner and so I said when we come we’ll pursue and find out what the true facts are and we’ll take remedial action to see how we can alleviate the suffering of customers…the point is why should people who have perpetrated something like this walk away without any inhibition?” he quizzed.
