Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom

Nduom is not against payment to customers – GN

Story By: David Apinga

Business conglomerate, Groupe Nduom, has said that its Chairman Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom is not preventing the payment of locked-up funds to customers of its financial subsidiaries.

They maintain that it was the government that rather owes them monies to the tune of GHC 3.5billion and ready to have an arrangement to have the monies paid directly to customers of GN Bank and Blackshield (formerly Gold Coast).

The government, on the other hand, insists it owes the firm only GHC 30.33 million.

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) downgraded GN Bank to a Savings and Loans and subsequently revoked the licence completely.

Blackshield, an investment company under the conglomerate, did not also survive the cancellation of the licences of fund managers.

GN Bank is seeking redress in court, but customers who monies are locked up have embarked on a series of demonstration to get their monies back.

In a release, copied to theghanareport.com, GN Group said: “Dr Nduom wishes it to be known that in case any government agency does not want to pay the receivables through the Groupe Nduom companies, Dr Nduom will agree to have his managers sit down with them and work out how customers can be paid directly”.

The firm said the past three year’s its chairman has been pleading for the payment of receivables due to contractors for projects his companies financed for the Road Fund, GetFund, COCOBOD, Ministry of Roads and Highways and others; and private sector companies.

They emphasised that the “funds do not belong to Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom”.

Hence, “anyone who ignores or deliberately refuses to cooperate with us to retrieve those monies denies the customers access to their investments”.
