Let the institutions PAY their clients first before YOU close them. Because the clients are Ghanaians and they need their money to boost this economy. You should know better ok. Masa just before YOU close a financial institution YOU should make sure they have paid their customers. Your measure for dealing with this problem is very Silly.

hmmm,close down of illegal micro financial institutions is in the right direction most of these institutions are not sustainable and even encouraging laziness in Ghanaian farmers and workers however,BOG should put mechanisms in place to ensure that monies of customers are duely refunded to them to bring sanity and economic transformation.This will help exonerate customers from future adversaries.Investors are in anguish

us Tilapia investment for instance has stolen millions of cedis from the poor in ghana. whiles the manager is hiding in Ghana and enjoying his millions the clients are weeping that they invested us Tilapia is a fraud and I believe journalist should raise this story so the company pays because its like after all the court cases against the company it still has not paid a dime to customers. investors are crying whiles the boss chief medicine is enjoying in his SUV'S PLEASE help us rid Ghana of such sakawa microfinance they are worse than fraud boys

Can BOG help retrieve and pay monies lost by Ghanaians over the past 4 years? If our own ppl can dupe us this way then what would foreigners do to us. God have mercy! Some of fraud companies are Prymhedge, US tilapia and Safeway ltd.

What preveented BOG from informing customers to come for their investment before closing down these Microfinance companies? That is how you secure public money.
You do all these to suit your selfish and corrupt interest and lie to us that you are doing these to safeguard customers.
We know you have seized those funds and invested them somewhere else.....otherwise nothing stopped you to have asked all customers to come for their funds.
Please spare us these cheap publications. ...and allow DKM to operate. They have worked smoothly untill u stopped them

It will be bad if Ghanaians woke up one morning and boom!!! these institutions are closed. What about the monies of the innocent customers? The BoG should do it rightly and should avoid the citizenry from any loses.

So where was BOG and their financial intelligence for almost three years when this financial institutions and fun clubs have publicly been in operation? It is not the responsibility of BOG to protect its customers? So while the closing down and not properly regulating them in such a way that they will adhere to their regulations. But instead closing and let the people you seem to protect suffer at end.Ain't we lucky that this institutions have not ran away with our money but rather you BOG has frozen their accounts. So why don't let the customers have their money or better still enforce the institutions to do the right thing which at end it will create employment for others and they will contribute also to the economic growth of this Country.

BOG pls u should hear me well. You and NDC government has collabrate to close financial instituetion when it is about to election so as to grap innocent people money for campain. Either licence or not you should hand over our money to us before u close them. Where were so called BOG when they started their operation. Does a passenger ask a driver about his/her driving licence before he/she join that car?. It is policeman duty to check that. So if a driver found as a victim then the police will arrest the driver and can delay the car as well by finding new car to take the passengers to their various destinations. These issues also relating to that example made. We know ur tricks. BOG wants to prove to the public that, they re not doing their work well or they don't know their work. My live is in that money. Currupt instituetion like BOG and currupt government like NDC government (John Mahama). If you want we the youth to take guns by the road side for robbering then BOG and the government should tell us and we will do so. WHY? It is too much. people are dying, crying, marriage break-down, suicide etc at Nkoranza. WHY !? WHY !!? WHY !!!? A man will die once but after death, there is judgement.
