Former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Allotey Jacobs has asked the Government of Ghana to refund monies owed customers of Menzgold by the gold dealership company.
According to Allotey Jacobs, it behoves the Akufo-Addo government to pay back all the monies because he is the father of all Ghanaians.
He noted that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was voted into power by Ghanaians which means some customers of the defunct Menzgold were among the electorates whose thumbprint secured victory for the party in the 2016 elections.
Speaking to sit-in host Nana Yaw Kesseh on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' programme, Allotey Jacobs noted that Ghana's governance system is a "government by the people for the people", therefore telling President Akufo-Addo and his government to empathize with the customers of Menzgold and pay them back their investments in the company.
“The government must ensure they pay back the locked monies belonging to the customers of Menzgold . . . Our governance system or the democracy that we’ve adopted says government by the people for the people . . . So if people have voted for the government, you’re supposed to seek the welfare of the people. They voted you into office. They have entrusted their security to you. They have entrusted you with their welfare,” he said.

Is this man serious or making a joke?
Allotey free yourself from this disgraceful statement. WATCH YOUR TONGUE YOU ARE LOSING YOUR SHINE. THE CONCERT IS TOO MUCH
This guy does he have brains at all? If he has then it should be a hen's brain. okasa by heart.
Allotey this very shallow argument. Must the government take responsibility of every wrong decision by its citizens simply because they voted it into power? Please come back again.
Sense11ess argument by Allottey Jacob
***barred word***
Bring back those monies ndc stole for them to be used to settle them. Opanin kwa*sea! did you pay DKM customers? there us no working brains in the ndc, their oldmen and young are all f*ools and I don't even know the type of anim*als they will bring to this world if they marry themselves like their st*upid general secretary has suggested. I've never seen a disgraceful and idio*ts in an opposition party in Africa like this ndc no wonder even in Africa I don't know where they are liked! John mahama tried to be friend to Uhuru but it didn't work because of ndc display of their st*upidity by calling him the President of Ghana instead of Kenya! and he tried Sierra Leone which he was chased out! who want to befriend a f00*00l? ndc are jokers!
Sense11ess suggestion.... We need money to do better things for the country. When they were enjoying the huge dividend did they pay taxes on it to government? Greedy people.
