The Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Mr Isaac Adongo, has solidarised with shareholders of collapsed banks, explaining that the attempt to describe them as thieves was uncalled for and amounts to "adding salt to injury."
He said at a forum on the banking crisis that although the challenges facing banks were encompassing, the government and the Bank of Ghana had decided to vilify directors and shareholders in order to escape blame. This posture, he said was unfortunate and amounts to stifling Ghanaian entrepreneurship.
As a result, he said a National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will not hesitate to return assets of the collapsed banks to their owners "unless they are found to have committed some tangible illegalities."
As a result, he said shareholders of the seven collapsed banks - UT and Capital banks in August 2017 and the BEIGE, Royal, Construction, Sovereign and uniBank banks in August 2018 - and all persons affected by the action should be assured of fair treatment when the party comes to power.
He mentioned the government's indebtedness to the collapsed banks, the involvement of current directors of Consolidated Bank with the now defunct banks and the choice of collapse over bailout as issues that raise flags about the genuineness of the decision.

Who can tell me one person in the NDC Party who is not corrupt? If it were not ignorance and tribalism from the Northerners and Ewes, who on earth would vote for this evil party? The woes of Ghana came as a result of about 23year-rule of AFRC/PNDC/NDC. Rwanda is making strides, while Ghana was retrogressing under the NDC government. I blame Akuffo Addo for playing with these robbers.
Our deputy finance minister in the next ndc government.Ghana economy will break world record. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MOST OF THIS ***barred word*** PEOPLE END UP IN NDC LORD WHY NOT NPP ,THE WORSE THING IS THEY MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE EXPOSING THIER FOOLISHNESS.
may the good Lord and creator of heaven and earth ensure that you remain in opposition forever. even if npp dont want to rule again, ndc will never come back to power again. it will be better to have a country without leaders to have stup!1d ple lead us again.
the more reason why u will remain in opposition till thy kingdom come.
I curse the ndc to remain in opposition for 24yr in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.amen !!!
Dog eating ape is at it again.....i dont know how he managed to go to parliament...in fact Ghana's parliament is really cheap!!!
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN OUR VOTES WITH THIS SILLLYY COMMENTS?GHANAIANS ARE VERY DECENDING NOW.SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE LONG AGO DURING YOUR REGIME AND BECAUSE YOU ARE INCOMPETENT YOU DIDN'T SEE.
I keep saying that in Ghana our criteria for selecting MP'S must be reviewed. I cant imagine that these people are in parliament. I pray God save Ghana.
That is the reason why you will not come back to power
You are not even in power yet you are telling us what your party will do. Nii Lante Vanderpuije said they will free Abuga Pele and you are also saying you will return the banks to its owners. On that note your party the NDC will loose elections big time. Next will be the cancellation of the free SHS. NDC cannot be trusted.
