Claims that IMANI Africa, the vice president of a policy think tank, had a private meeting with Nana Appiah Mensah of Menzgold or the management of Menzgold have been refuted.

Bright claims that no discussions on any issue have ever taken place in any kind of meeting with the corporation.

The truth concerning IMANI's participation with Menzgold will eventually come to light, according to Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1, in a tweet on December 24.He claims he has evidence to support his assertions, including a previously recorded meeting with IMANI that has been securely "vaulted."

He wrote: "Time has painfully conceived. It will certainly birth the TRUTH one day."

NAM1's tweet was in response to a statement made by the President of IMANI, Franklin Cudjoe, on December 24 that read, "NAM1 must be smiling and waving at us now. This life no balance".

However, Bright Simons responded by saying "IMANI as an org has never met Menzgold or its founders/execs in any context. 2. No exec of IMANI has met them or Menzgold privately on ANY subject EVER. 3. The suggestion that some info in a "vault" relates to secret meetings is ENTIRELY false & borders on defamation."

Bright Simons also noted that the claims by NAM1 were "perverse and actionable at law".

Meanwhile, the IMANI Veep referenced a GhanaWeb article with the headline "Menzgold has become a public policy issue - IMANI suggests way forward" to point out that the only analytical work done on Menzgold by IMANI urged SEC, not BoG, to take the lead & questioned the gold-based business model. That is it."
