Staff of embattled gold trading firm, Menzgold Ghana Limited, have chided management of conniving with some persons within NPP government to secretly pay off selected clients of the company.
According to them, the management of the company has also sold off some assets of the company for personal gains as well as pay off their close friends.
A statement issued on Saturday and signed by three Corporate Relations Officers of the company, said “We confirm that Management members are secretly paying off clients without a proper schedule and with assurances to other clients. This makes their act suspicious, and unfair whenever money is made available.
“Powers in governance are aiding persons to retrieve funds but these same powers are reluctant in seeking the best solution for all.”
The staff, who say they have been working for four months without pay, also say they are being denied information by management on the issue of client settlements.
According to the statement, some management members have tried to leave the country “and have been deported”.
They are therefore calling on the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) to investigate the activities of their management.
“Management members have fraudulently acquired properties such as luxury houses, schools, flashy and luxury cars and many more, to dwindle the finances of the company. We, therefore, wish that EOCO investigates them.”
