Names of all validated creditors of DKM Diamond Microfinance in the Upper East Region, will be published on the 30th of September, 2016, at designated centers with their corresponding banks to cash their claims effective first week of October, the liquidator of DKM has disclosed.
An official Liquidator of DKM, Mrs. Yemima Oware during an encounter with creditors of DKM in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region, indicated that, names of all verified claimants will be pasted at the DKM branch in Bolga and at the regional coordinating council on 30th September for claimants to check their names for payment.
She added that, the Agricultural Development Bank, Ghana Commercial Bank and Fidelity Bank, have been contracted to pay all validated creditors of DMK Microfinance over the counter.
Mrs. Oware said customers whose names are not captured on the validated list, should not worry, adding that, the validation process is still ongoing and that customers will be updated accordingly.
“The claims that came in was 63,000, but through a forensic audit by Price water house coppers, we had about 93,000 separate claims coming in.”
“So I cannot confirm how many customers have been verified for payment of claims and cannot also tell whether customers will be paid their full principal with interest or not until next week Friday”.
Mrs. Oware further said, her outfit will come out with modalities on how to pay decreased depositors and those whose deposit slips were destroyed by disasters.
Commenting on the fate of some DKM depositors who had won court cases against the company, a partner of Price water house coppers Ghana limited, Eric Nana Nipah, said DKM Diamond Microfinance will negotiate with the affected parties for an amicable resolution of the issue.
Some creditors of DKM Microfinance told Citi News they were excited about the move by the liquidator to ensure that their monies are paid.
