Massa, everyone knows you are a party serial caller who has been given a few coins to be doing this kind of dirty jobs the evil government.

We know and understand the evil that that was carried out in the name of 'cleaning' financial sector and we know the motives for that evil thing. No amount of propaganda will wash.

It was a bank set up on deception without liquidity. It was insolvent and the right thing was done. If GN group has acase, they should go to court and stop disturbing our ears.

It was the panic withdrawal the government created in the system that led to GN Bank collapse. You remember when government was closing other banks for insolvency, many people were afraid and started withdrawing their monies.

I am surprised people forget so soon. People were queuing for days before if fortunate they could get a fraction of their own deposits. Remember there were daily reports of disgruntled GN customers.

Why should Dr. Ndum portral the revocation of his GN Bank license as done by the Akufo Addo's government? If you employ thousands of people and cannot pay depositors their monies, then you have mismanaged the Bank. You have lost the trust of the depositors. It is as simple as that!

Did Data Bank meet all conditions? Was the government owing the banks that were collapsed? If the government was owing the banks, has the government paid them their monies before collapsing them? If these questions are answered sincerely and truthfully, the public can make their own judgement.

Financially illiterate Ghanaians blame the problems of greedy bankers like Nduom on govt. They don't read, are offended by details and think Banking is like prodcing kenkey. How is a bank going to survive with 300 physical branches in rural areas when mobile money payments are taking over. Operational costs alone will sink the bank. Mmoa.

Why wont GN Bank (Mduom) go to Supreme Court when High Court ruled against them rather than politicizing it by going to Mahama? Of a truth some Banks by then have run down the Banks and could not even pay customers.

Everyone on Ghanaweb,
For the sake of our country first and it's betterment, progressiveness and continuous positive impact and benefits of its citizens, please please, let's each and everyone of us use and provide FACTS AND EVIDENCE to substantiate any presentations and or response to issues of our dear country.

The main reason why GN Bank couldn't meet customers or account holders' cash withdrawal demands was BECAUSE THE BoG AT THAT TIME HAD BLLOCKED AND PREVENTED GN BANK ANY ACCESS TO ITS MONEY HELD BY BoG. INCLUDING ALL OF GN BANK'S OVER 200 MILLION SAFEGUARDING DEPOSIT HELD IN SAFE BY THE BoG. That was why GN Bank couldn't pay or meet the cash withdrawal demands of its customers by that time to date.
THE QUESTION EVERYONE MUST BE ASKING THE BoG IS, WHERE IS ALL THE GN BANK'S CUSTOMERS MONIES WHICH WAS DEPOSITED BY GN BANK INTO BoG? SECONDLY, WHERE IS GN BANK'S OVER 200 MILLION MINIMUM SAFE GUARDING AMOUNT WHICH BoG HELD AND HAVE KEPT?

you guys still don't get it , or diabolically defending you bad fate actions in the so called Banking sector clean up exercise.

what right thinking Ghanaian are asking you is this
1. is it true by the time you were revoking GN bank license the government were indebted to the GN bank ?

2. why did the minister of Finance in this same Akuffu Addo government who has responsibility in paying the government debt refuse to pay GN Bank so that GN bank could use that money to resource the so called liquidity challenges Bank of Ghana is talking about ?

or
Ghana was in a situation whereby The Bank of Ghana is no more for the government and the people of Ghana , so the minister of Finance has no authority in requesting government debt from BOG ?

if that was the case
I want to ask
at what capacity did the BOG looses over GHS 60b in the banking sector cleaning up exercise ?

or do the people of Ghana are right in saying all of you at the BOG has caused financial loss hence need prosecution and jailing not less 50years ?

How does government owe a bank?
Did K Ndoum lend money to government?
We know the deal between John and Lordina Mahama VRS Kwesi Ndoum

Mahama awarded about 150 EBLOCKS to contractors

Kwesi Ndoum paid 30% of contract sum of 10m to contractors as mobilization

Contractors provided no colateral or performance bind

John Mahama and Lordina took their 10% from the 150 contractors as agreed

Who does that?

Who authorized K Ndoum to use depositors money that way.

The number of E blocks awarded was just for John Mahama, s 10%

Please Kwesi Ndoum no bank pays advance mobilization without colateral or performance bond.

Destroying your own indigenous based on foreign-interest protocols and banking statuettes is not in the interest your communities, Ghana nor Africa.

That's bad knowledge this Bernard Otabil guy has acquired and we have to help him to unlearn such idiocy because such actions lie at the root of the poverty and borrowings in Ghana - 80% of profits should be locally owned to rotate internally to create wealth.

The inversion led by by people such as these means only 20% is circulating and 80% wealth leaking abroad. Waste of human resources!
