Aggrieved DKM customers threaten to hit the street
Some customers of DKM Microfinance Company have
threatened to hit the street on Friday November
11, if the Official Liquidator of the company
fails to rectify all anomalies related to the
payment of their locked up cash.

The Official Liquidator for DKM, the Registrar
General’s Department, yesterday November 7, told
Citi Business News, all aggrieved customers will
receive their monies by the end of this week.

The Principal Company Inspector for the Official
Liquidator, Jones Nathaniel Ansah explained that
work is ongoing to resolve all anomalies, as well
as compile the final list of customers whose names
did not appear on an earlier list.

But speaking to Citi Business News, spokesperson
for the DKM customers, Mohammed Ibn Issaka ,
expressed dissatisfaction with the turnout of
events, blaming the Registrar General’s
Department for the delay in rectifying the
anomalies.

“We don’t trust them anymore because some time
past the same promises were given to us, only for
us to go there for the names to be released but it
did not have majority of the customers on the
list. We intend embarking on demonstration because
things are too silent,” he charged.

He was of the view that the inability of the
Official Liquidator to keep its promise has eroded
the confidence the aggrieved customers have in the
Registrar General’s Department.

“They keep promising us that they are still
doing the validation and we do not know when the
list will be out. We intend embarking on
demonstration because things are too silent,” he
reiterated.

He warned that the customers will use all
legitimate means available to get their investment
back.

Background of DKM debacle
 
Thousands of customers of DKM Microfinance Company
lost their investments, running into millions of
cedis after the company was declared bankrupt for
wrongfully investing its funds.

The customers thronged to the offices of the
company in different parts of the country
 demanding their investments after the news of
the bankruptcy went viral on social media and
mainstream media.

The BoG stepped in and confiscated all the assets
of the company and announced a liquidation process
to reimburse the customers.
