Dr. Adu Anane Antwi, Convener of the Locked-Up Investment Holders’ Forum, has pledged to continue their prolonged picketing until the Finance Ministry addresses their demands.
This determination was reiterated as the group staged their eighth picketing session at the Ministry on Wednesday, July 17, pressing for the release of funds locked in insolvent financial institutions.
In an interview with Citi News, Dr. Adu Anane Antwi expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of their concerns.
“The government should do something, the ministry should look at the issue and ensure that the people are taken care of. It’s something that is demoralising. The young ones are already not investing. Now they tell you there’s no way they’re going to invest and investment is what drives the growth of the economy.
“People need money to establish companies, and run industries, and it is people’s money they go and take out of people’s investments to run the economy and businesses.
“So, if we’re doing this, it is going to discourage the few ones who are investing to completely stop. So, they are using their money to buy lands,” Dr Adu Anane Antwi stated.
