Aggrieved customers of DKM Financial Company Ltd, have urged President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo not to relent on his promise of getting their locked up investment refunded.
According to them, they voted massively for Nana Addo based on his promise to retrieve their monies for them.
They say the current government has not been up to the task in addressing the matter because many of them have been paid far below what they invested.
Nana Akufo-Addo prior to the December 7 elections assured he’ll investigate the DKM scandal and to ensure that there would be total restoration to all affected in both scandals when he’s voted into power.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, the Spokesperson of the DKM customers in Tamale, Mohammed Ibin Issaka said he believes Nana Akufo-Addo will address the matter soon as promised.
“Currently we wish Nana Addo well as he takes office in January 7. we just want to remind him of the promise which he gave us. Infact Nana Addo received massive endorsement from most of the DKM customers across the country. He was voted for because of the promise he gave us and then we only have the hope that he’ll be able to fulfill his promises.
Woes of DKM customers
Thousands of customers of DKM Microfinance Company lost their investments running into millions of cedis after the central bank in 2015 suspended the operations of DKM for violating the banking Act.
Though the central bank subsequently lifted the ban on the company’s operations, DKM was unable to pay its customers their locked up cash.
The Bank of Ghana confiscated the assets of the company and appointed the Registrar General’s Department to commence liquidation process to refund customers of the company, but many of the customers say they were shortchanged in the process.
