The Convener for the Locked-Up Investment Holders’ Forum, Dr. Adu Anane Antwi has vowed prolonged picketing until the Finance Ministry addresses their demands.
On Wednesday, July 17, the group picketed for the eighth time at the Ministry, seeking the payment of their locked-up funds in insolvent financial institutions.
In an interview with Citi News, Dr Adu Anane Antwi, expressed disappointment with the government’s stance on their demands.
“The government should do something, the ministry should look at the issue and ensure that the people are taken care of. It’s something that is demoralising. The young ones are already not investing. Now they tell you there’s no way they’re going to invest and investment is what drives the growth of the economy.
“People need money to establish companies, and run industries, and it is people’s money they go and take out of people’s investments to run the economy and businesses.
“So, if we’re doing this, it is going to discourage the few ones who are investing to completely stop. So, they are using their money to buy lands,” Dr Adu Anane Antwi said.
