Presidential hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, has asked the Nana Addo-led government to take full responsibility for the Menzgold scam.
Government’s complicit posture and actions in protecting the affected customers has been the worst as they hobnobbed with officials of the embattled company.
“……government should sit and solve the problem after they had hobnobbed with them……”
Over 60,000 depositors’ funds reported to be a colossal amount of US$ 260 million have been lost and the longest-serving Parliamentarian noted that government cannot distance itself from the officials and dealings of Menzgold.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Host of Simpieso, Kaakyire Ofori Ayim, Mr. Bagbin explained that DKM and Menzgold are almost the same but government has not learnt from past lessons and handled it in a worst manner.
According to him, even though DKM had no license to operate as a bank, there was no overt engagement and endorsement by then NDC government as seen by the Nana Addo-led administration.
“….but you did not see the former President Mahama and his Ministers were no hobnobbing with DKM, here is the case there is one now which was not given any such license but which was on daily basis hobnobbing with government, funding GFA League, flying in jets with officials”
And that any time Bank of Ghana issued warning and drew the attention of citizens of the business not genuine and don’t deal with this company. The next day you see the CEO of that company with the President.
“In fact, there were contributions here and there, people seeing monies being thrown, there was pomp and pageantry with government officials and President himself playing a role. That was giving credibility to what the gentleman (NAM 1) was doing and that was convincing Ghanaians that the man was doing genuine business hence put in their money, he added.”
Speaking further, he opined that government should pay the capital invested by the customers and take actions against initiators and all persons behind the shady business.

Look at this Mahama double salary minister talking.... Did NDC protect the DKM customers?
Ghanaians have forggortten that they elected a con man as president, it should not surprise anyone with his dealings with NAM1. we all know the open secret that he is not a lawyer but this was quickly brushed out by friends of the media. Eventually the truth will be out before the unexpected happens. God is not a foolishperson there is time for everybody. The president should be held responsible because of the publicity he personnaly gave NAM1.When we want political power we talk anyhow as if we have no brains or there is no tomorrow. Look out Mensah Otabil an ordinaly level being appointed as board chairman of a bank and listen to how he bragged. We all know what happened to Dr Ackah lacka chichacho, boom araka boom boom. Truth never dies and we shall witness
Go and pay the double salary you took. Nana Addo’s inability to prosecute these people make me sad all the time.
These people are destroying their presidential chances****
In fact these people are destroying th heir pre d identical chances by exposing their naivety in everything, we can't allow people with low thinking to rule us they've never talked as ny sensible thing apart from senseless attacks! Don't think people don't like you but it is your damn thinking that is exposing you! politics demand deep thinking and civility, thinking throwing things anyhow will help you is false, your constituents may accept your thinking because of who you've become but not everyone in Ghana think that way so when you coming out think deep and see if the majority will accept that or only your people will believe you! ndc is full of idi*ots!
THOUGHT MR BAGBIN IS AN ELDERLY PERSON AND WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE TALKING, WHAT IS HE SAYING, WHICH PROTECTION IS HE INSINUATING? AND WHAT PROTECTION WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN BOG AND SEC ASKING THE MENZGOLD OPERATORS TO HALT BUSINESS IN ORDER TO SECURE THEIR CUSTOMER'S INVESTMENT AND FUTURE OF THE COMPANY. THERE'S NO CREDIBLE PERSON IN NDC EXCEPT THEIR FOUND JJR. POLITIC WILL TAKE US ANYWHERE BUT WHEN THE MICE CAME TOGETHER THE TRUE IS THEY ATE OF BAWL OF CORNDOUGH.SOME OF US ARE WAITING FOR DAY NPP AND NDC WILL SIT TOGETHER ON ROUND-TABLE SHARE IDEAS, PROPOUND ANY THEORIES AND POLICIES FOR MOTHER GHANA AND NOT THIS TIT-FOR TAT. WHETHER DKM OR MENZGOLD OR PIRAM OR CHARLES PONZI HIMSELF LET THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF DEAR COUNTRY AND STOP THE BLAME.BECAUSE WE FAIL AS A COUNTRY TO OUR RESPONSIBILITY THAT'S WHY WE ARE STILL WHERE WE WERE. LET ACCEPT OUR MISTAKE AND MOVE ON
Sometimes I wonder why some people who call themselves intellectuals talk like this. The fact that NAM1 has taken a photograph with the president does not mean he endorse menzgold. He is the president of the nation and people go to him and afterwards take a picture with him. Shata Wale, Stoneboy and others went to visit him and they pictures with him. Does that mean if they(Those who visited him) have any bad deeds, does that mean the president is in support of that? Mr. Bagbin, if, not for politics you would have visited the president after he assumed office and take a picture with him and does that mean he supports your polygamous life? what sort of behavior is this? Please, give Ghanaians a break and let's pray that the president takes the country to a better future.
