Controversial legal Practitioner and Social Commentator, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw, says the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is slowly losing political power.
According to him, if Menzgold goes down, NPP will go down as well because NDC suffered the same fate with DKM and God is Love in the 2016 election.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, Lawyer Ampaw reiterated that, he does not expect NPP to keep quiet on matters like this, because people are suferring and dying so he expect the government to take drastic measures in dealing with the issue.
He urged Ghanaians especially NPP members on social media to stop ridiculing menzgold customers.
“The insults and the name calling are too much. For instance Finance Minister referring to them as greedy and footsoldiers calling them all sort of names on social media," he said.
The embattled lawyer is blaming government, Bank of Ghana (BoG) and Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta for deliberately attempting to collapse Menzgold Company.
"Those saying Menzgold Company was operating illegally should refrain from that propaganda. Were they not paying taxes and SSNIT to government? Can a fraudster pay tax and SSNIT to government?
"Government was aware of Menzgold operations. Government and Bank of Ghana are deliberately collapsing Menzgold because their operations is allegedly collapsing the Bank of Ghana and Ken Ofori Atta's Databank,” he alleged.
Lawyer Maurice Ampaw however charged Menzgold customers to stop listening to lies and support Nana Appiah mensah.
I Have Ghc2.4bn Locked Up At Menzgold – Mawrice Ampaw
Lawyer Maurice Ampaw has revealed that he has close to 2.4bn Ghana Cedis locked up at Menzgold, the gold trading firm that has been shut down by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana.
According to him he is not bothered about his money been lock up because he benefited a lot from the Gold company.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, nn aggrieved Maurice Ampaw indicated that there is nothing wrong with people who invested with Menzgold because nothing showed the company was not operating illegally since Bank of Ghana and the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) did not speak about their illegality.
Mr. Ampaw argued that, if institutions funded and mandated to monitor the authenticity of all investor companies failed to take any action against MenzGold for five years, then such people must be held responsible and not the company.
“I am not worried about my money but rather thinking about the ordinary Ghanaian who went for loan to invest, and many customers whose monies are looked up at Menzgold due to irresponsible act of an institution who refused to monitor their activities,” he stressed.

am shocked a lawyer I used to admire, is now talking this way. hmm NAM has caused a lot of psychological trauma as well. let leave him, time will heal. but as for his money, unfortunately it gone for good
Greedy man, are you God. Npp will never lose elections in Jesus name. When you people were receiving fat bonuses from NAM 1 did you people tell the president. Because you have invested Ghc 2.4bn and it now gone you the government to come and pay. Get away he won't pay anything but will still win the elections in Jesus name.
This mind games will not wash for the Menzgold’s greedy investors. Great minds will continue to vote for NPP. The rest can join Asiedu Nketiah and his NDC to talk rubbish. This is NPP in power and never will we accept crooks and dubious connections in our country. Never again!
NPP to lose to which party? The corrupt NDC or the collapsed CPP? You willingly sent your money a Menzgold... Take them to court and collect your money and leave NPP government alone. All the warnings were on the wall that Menzgold was a ponzi scheme. This lawyer is not cleaver at all..... Cheap lawyer. you are being emotional because you lost your money.
I am short of words.... Ñkŵasiàs3m aaa k3k3!!!
Typical Ghanaian mammal,always election elections!!! Who cares if Ghanaians dont boys for npp,did nana addo ask them to send their money to Menzgold?
This one is not a smart lawyer at all. After all the 'book-long', and you could not heed warnings from the BOG & SEC? Shame!
You were advised several times not to do business with Menzgold. You refused to listen. The government even attempted a control and you all came down hard on them, accusing them of trying to collapse the business. These are now the same people saying government should not have allowed them, WHAT N0NE$ENSE!
What a childish talk. NPP has already won 2020 and even 2024 so Maurice keep tickling yourself. Which government tells citizens where to invest? You’re a joke.
Maurice Ampaw, the fact that you are a lawyer does not mean you know everything.For your education, Ken Ofori Atta's Databank is not a retail or a commercial bank for Menzgold to pose as a threat.Databank is an investment bank,their activities are managing pension fund,mutual funds,selling of shares,treasury bill,institutional funds etc. Their mode of operation do not allow them to accept customers deposit.Anyway can you show one person in Ghana who has deposit account with Databank?. You are very talented lawyer so be circumspect when coming out with something you are not familiar with.
