Gold Coast Customers threaten nationwide protests if govt fails to honour promise

The leadership of the Aggrieved Gold Coast Customers has warned of a series of nationwide protests if the Minister of Finance, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, fails to fulfil his promise.

The group suspended their protest, which was initially scheduled for Monday, August 5, after an engagement with the Minister regarding their demands for their locked-up funds.

The group says there is an agreement for their monies to be paid in August.

In an interview with Citi News, the convenor for the customers, Charles Nyame, urged the government not to fail in meeting their commitment.

“We made it clear to the government that this is the second time they are giving us their timelines. We want people to understand that we’re not doing this for political expediency sake. It’s the money that we want, we’re in a political season and we don’t take joy in muddying the water for any political party or playing the bidding of any political party.

“We need the money, so if the government has come forward to say wait give me a little time, this is the second time and we have to agree. We made it clear to them that this is the last chance, the last opportunity we’re giving them.

“If they fail to do as they have said, there’s no way we will enter into any agreement or negotiations with them. We’re going to plan for a sustained series of demonstrations until we see all our monies paid to us, should they fail to pay all our monies in August as they have promised,” Charles Nyame threatened.
