President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Bank of Ghana (BOG) to speed up processes and ensure that cash deposits of customers of the DKM Diamond Microfinance, a savings company in the Sunyani Municipality are paid them.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”KAQXkhq0DnCuiYs2gfUl61rCmlMPpw8o”]Barely two months ago, the Financial Intelligence Center, Ghana, a national anti-money laundering organization under the BOG, froze the accounts of the company, which has branches in Wenchi, Techiman, Nkoranza, Berekum, Wa, and Bolgatanga, for some operational lapses.<\/p>\n
President Mahama gave the directive when he addressed a durbar of the chiefs and people of Ntotroso in the Asutifi North District, as part of his two-day working visit to the Brong-Ahafo Region.<\/p>\n
He was responding to a plea by Barima Twireku Ampem, the Omanhene of the Ntotroso Traditional Area, to intervene for the customers of the company.<\/p>\n
President Mahama advised the DKM customers to exercise patience, as the BOG and management of the financial company worked out modalities to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n
He charged the BOG to be more proactive, and step up measures to ensure that situations where financial institutions duped unsuspecting customers, were brought under control.<\/p>\n
Barima Ampem noted that the closure of the company had affected economic activities, because cash deposits of hundreds of people in the area and the region as a whole were locked up.
