Customers of the now-defunct Menzgold are urging the suspension of the prosecution of Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as NAM 1, the company's founder.
They believe that by doing this, the process of getting their money back will go more quickly.
The delay in prosecuting NAM 1 is a sign that the government is not committed to recovering their money for them, claim the irate consumers who voiced dissatisfaction with how the state is handling the matter.
"The way the administration is handling the situation truly disappoints us. Because the government has been looking into this issue for three years despite the fact that it is not a murder case, the government doesn't seem devoted to finding a solution. Fred Forson, chairman of Menzgold Customers.
"Since this is a clear subject, we Menzgold consumers think this is all a hoax, and the Attorney-General cannot be informing us that an inquiry is being conducted. This need not take place.
Because of this, he continued, "we have recommended that they make use of the present private motion, bring it before Parliament, and make sure that Parliament helps the administration find a long-term solution to this."
He also stated that they would like that the issue be handled as a civil matter rather than a criminal one so that they could take the lead in the prosecution.
"Either he's found guilty, he goes to jail and nothing about our money is stated, or when he is innocent he'll come back, then we still use the civil path to retrieve our money and that's what we are recommending to the government," he continued.
Background
The prosecution of Nana Appiah Mensah, the chief executive officer of Menzgold, was started by the attorney general over three years ago.
He is charged with cheating thousands of consumers out of millions of cedis through his gold dealership business.
The case has been postponed more than 20 times, yet not a single "victim" has testified.
However, according to certain sources in the AG's office, there are some details in the case that need to be adjusted.
