The Aggrieved Gold Coast Fund Customers have cautiously welcomed the government’s announcement of a GH¢1.5 billion bailout package for affected investors of failed fund management companies.
While the group’s convenor, Charles Nyame, acknowledged that the amount falls short of their expectations, he expressed gratitude for the payment, citing the dire need of their members.
In an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi FM, Nyame emphasized that the group is not entirely satisfied, given the six-year delay and depreciation of their investments.
He noted that the prolonged wait has caused significant hardship for their members, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet. However, he accepted the payment in good faith, prioritizing the well-being of their suffering members.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has outlined a three-tranche payment plan, with the final installment expected in December 2024.
Nyame urged calm among their members, clarifying that each investor will receive a minimum of GH¢50,000, with the possibility of receiving more.
He reassured them that the payment is a step in the right direction, despite not meeting their initial expectations.
The group is now pleading with the government to expedite the release of the remaining GH¢3.5 billion to ensure full payment and bring closure to the matter. Nyame’s sentiments reflect a mix of relief and frustration, as the group seeks to secure the financial well-being of their members.
He emphasized that the government’s prompt action is crucial in alleviating the suffering of their members, many of whom are facing critical financial challenges.
