Press Release

SSNIT BOSS & BANK OF GHANA
GOVERNOR MUST RESIGN
In the wake of Ghana’s most gruesome transaction, the
Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) is shocked to
learn that, an unsigned statement from Fortiz Equity
Fund limited has been issued notifying the public of its
90% shares acquisition in Merchant Bank Ghana. This
action by these public institutions goes contrary to the
spirit and letter of the law in the face of the court
granting an interim injunction restraining the sale to
fortiz.
It must be put on record that, in spite of the
availability of evidence, the forceful sale of 90%
shares at USD 41.09 million USD to Fortiz can best be
described as an act against common sense. The SSNIT boss
and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana have thus, done
the unthinkable. Not only have these men betrayed
Ghanaians, they have condoned and connived with these
financial engineers to forcefully acquire public assets
for private interest. We don’t expect these “greedy” and
“unconscionable” bastards to do anything better for
Ghana.
The SSNIT boss, Mr. Ernest Thompson and BOG Governor,
Dr. Henry Kofi Wampah are of no use to the Ghanaian.
They have devalued their learned selves and will forever
regret this transaction till their days on earth are
exhausted. Surely! No government have lived in
perpetuity, the day of reckoning will come, at that
time, you will be alone to face the wrath of the citizen
for engaging in this evil transaction.
Mr. President, because your hands are soiled in this
transaction, AFAG would want to put it on record that,
you have failed to relieve these men off their post.
Mr. Ernest Thompson, SSNIT Boss and the Governor of the
Central Bank, Dr. Henry Kofi Wampah must resign if they
have moral conscience. These men have gone against
equity!
Country Men, Colonel Feli died for just a loan of 50,000
cedis from the Bank. What is good for the goose is
equally good for the Gander. We must use all civil
rights and might to rise up to the challenge. We must
protect the Public Purse, Protect our investment and
demand value for money in all dealings.
AFAG, hence have commenced our crusade against the
wrongful, illegal and illogical acquisition of Merchant
Bank.
Looking forward to our press conference next week. God
save Ghana!
