Disgruntled customers of DKM Diamond micro finance in the Brong Ahafo region can now heave a sigh of relief as the flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has assured them their monies could be retrieved if elected to power.

The NPP leader gave the promise during his interaction with the chiefs and people of Busunya in the Nkoranza North constituency, as part of his five days tour to the Brong Ahafo Region.

DKM Microfinance Company and four others, namely Little Drops Financial Services, God is Love Fun Club, Jaster Motors and Investment Ltd and Care for Humanity Fun Club, which turned out to be bunco institutions, took deposits from clients, paid huge unsustainable interests on the deposits and later bolted with clients' investments when the companies became insolvent.

This situation is reported to have negatively affected economic, social and political life of the people in the Brong Ahafo Region. Many of the customers have been reported dead while some have gone completely bankrupt.

After series of demonstrations, government through the Bank of Ghana intervened and freezed the assets of the companies in its bid to retrieve the monies. But the matter has still not been resolved and the customers have threatened to vote massively against the Mahama-led government.

But, Nana Akufo-Addo as an immediate measure to bring respite to the people, said he will retrieved their monies if voted to power. “If voted as President, I will do everything in my power to get your monies back to you” he told the ecstatic crowd.

The NPP leader was skeptical about government’s ability to retrieve the money since “it’s been promise galore by President Mahama”. Nana Akufo-Addo called on the people of Brong Ahafo to vote massively for him in the upcoming election for total redemption from the incompetent Mahama administration.
