The Securities and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2018 ordered gold trading firm, Menzgold Ghana Limited, to suspend their operations with the public with immediate effect.

Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta stressed government has no intention of bailing out customers of beleaguered investment company, Menzgold.

The minister explained the profile of Menzgold customers shows financially literate people who ought to know that the gold dealership firm is “an obvious trap” and applauded the efforts of the Securities and Exchanges Commission for coming down “hard and strong and justifiably” on Menzgold.

Management of Menzgold issued a payment plan to pay dividends of customers after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ordered the closure of Menzgold offices.

“Kwame, those saying Menzgold Company was operating illegally should refrain from the propaganda. Didn’t Menzgold pay tax and SSNIT to government? Can a fraudster pay tax and SSNIT to government? Government is aware of Menzgold operation. Government, Bank of Ghana deliberately collapsed Menzgold Company because Menzgold operations was collapsing Bank of Ghana and Ofori Atta databank” he said.
