IMANI Africa's vice president has refuted reports that his organization met privately with Nana Appiah Mensah of Menzgold or the Menzgold management.

Bright claims that no meetings of any kind have ever taken place with the corporation regarding any issue.

In a tweet on December 24, Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1, predicted that the truth regarding IMANI's connection to Menzgold will come to light over time.He claims that he has evidence to support his assertions, including a previously documented and securely "vaulted" meeting with IMANI.

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 are “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.”
