Some aggrieved customers of Nana Appiah Mensah’s defunct Menzgold company are agitating for the prosecution of NAM1 to be suspended by the state.
In their view, minus the criminal prosecution of the former Menzgold CEO, they would have got their locked-up funds by now.
“We are really disappointed in how the government is handling the matter. To us, the government is not committed to resolving this because for three years the government is still investigating the matter, although it’s not a murder case,” the Convener of the aggrieved Menzgold customers’ group, Mr Fred Forson recently said in an interview.
“This is a straightforward matter, so, for us Menzgold customers, we believe that this is just a charade and the Attorney General cannot be telling us they are doing the investigation. This doesn’t have to happen”, he said on Accra-based Joy News on Tuesday, 21 June 2022.
“That’s why we have suggested they should take advantage of the current private motion, lay it before Parliament and ensure that Parliament assists the government in finding a lasting solution to this,” he added.
To him, the “outcome of this criminal case is 80% to 90%; either he’s found guilty, he goes to jail and nothing is said about our money or when he is innocent, he’ll come back, then we still use the civil route to get our monies and that’s what we are suggesting to the government”.
