President John Mahama has refuted rumours that he and the First Lady,
Lordina Mahama, are behind some fraudulent microfinance institutions in
the Brong Ahafo region, particularly DKM.
Customers of DKM Diamond microfinance and ‘God is Love fun club’ are
facing a hard time retrieving their funds as managers of the facilities
are unable to account for them.
The BNI has subsequently arrested the owners of such facilities as part of investigations into their operations.
The Central Bank has also begun moves to revoke the licenses of some microfinance institutions for breach of its regulations.
Speaking at a press encounter at the Flagstaff House Tuesday, Mr. Mahama
said it is unfortunate that some people are playing politics with the
development.
“I don’t know DKM from Adam, my wife doesn’t know DKM from Adam. I only
got to see him in the papers today after his arrest by the BNI but yet
we are being linked to him.
”...If anybody promises I will give you 50 percent interest on your
money, just know that he’s fooling you,” the President stated.
He also disclosed that the BNI has been instructed to go after properties and assets of such institutions.
According to him, the Central Bank will soon start disbursing the
remaining funds in the accounts of DKM and 'God is Love' to their
aggrieved customers.
