In an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, the Aide to the Brong Ahafo regional minister, Maxwell Mahama said the meeting is expected to keep the minister informed on happenings in that area.

“It is good that the Regional minister would have to meet the Official Liquidator in that regard at least to find out how far the process is going especially the number of people who have received their monies in full or otherwise.”

“We would also have to know so far with those who have genuinely not received anything so that at the end of it, those who have not would also receive something.”

Thousands of DKM customers became worried after their investments went bad.

The Official Liquidator has so far paid about 80 percent of the affected victims.

Reports suggest that those who have been paid are the customers who are owed below ten thousand cedis.

Meanwhile, the Principal Company Inspector of the Registrar General’s Department, the Official Liquidator for DKM, Jones Nathaniel Ansah also said the auditor, PwC, is almost done with the validation for creditors whose claims exceed ten thousand cedis each.

“The cut off was 10,000 cedis so persons who had investments less than the amount have received everything in full. But the remaining 20 percent are those that had monies exceeding 10,000 cedis.”
