Supporters of the Locked-Up Investment Holders Forum will reconvene at the Finance Ministry on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, for a demonstration.

This decision follows the Ministry's failure to fulfill its commitment to engage with them.

On May 21, the Forum declared a temporary halt to their planned protests on May 22 and 29, 2024, after the Deputy Finance Minister requested a meeting to address their grievances.

The statement at the time indicated that after “a call today from the Deputy Minister for Finance, to have a meeting with us after returning from a trip on 27th May 2024, to discuss our petition, we are suspending the picketing for tomorrow, 22nd May 2024 and Wednesday, 29th May 2024.”

However, recent developments have exacerbated the frustrations of the disgruntled customers.

In an interview, the convenor, Dr Adu Antwi revealed that “the meeting that was promised by the Deputy Minister for Finance Dr Stephen Amoah to have with us after he has returned from his trip on 27th May 2024 has still not come on.”

He further mentioned that subsequent follow-ups through text messages have also proven futile.

In light of this, the Forum has reinstated its original plan to stage protests at the Ministry every Wednesday until the conclusion of November 2024, demanding financial allocations for the reimbursement of depositors' funds.

“…Next Wednesday, 5th June 2024, we are resuming the picketing. And when we resume, we will be picketing every Wednesday till we achieve results,” he said.
