Even if we pay GN Savings and Loans their GH¢30.33 million, it won't solve their capital deficit - Gov't
The government has come out to react to a press conference organised by some aggrieved residents of Elmina last week concerning the revocation of the operating license of GN Savings and Loans.
The organizers of the press conference blamed the government for the woes of GN Savings and Loans and said the government failed to honour its financial obligations to GN Savings and Loans.
The government in a statement signed by the Deputy Minister of Information, Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei, said these assertions were misplaced.
They also said "Indeed, as at 6th August 2019, Government's indebtedness to GN amounted only to GH¢30.33 million. An agreement has, indeed, been reached between the Ministry of Finance and GN to settle this debt. However, even when completely settled, it will still not address GN's capital deficit of GH¢683.66 million."

It added:"The Akufo-Addo administration has nothing to gain from the closure of a company belonging to a Ghanaian. That is not how the President views his mandate. On the contrary, since assuming office in 2017, the pre-occupation of President Akufo-Addo has been to incentivize the Ghanaian private sector to be able to compete effectively in the region, the continent and the world, create jobs for the Ghanaian people, and put our nation onto the path of progress and prosperity."
