Bawumia made this statement during his tour of the Northern Region, where he was approached by a group of investors seeking redress for their losses.
Investors of the defunct Gold Coast Fund have been seeking compensation for their losses following the closure of the banks.
Despite their efforts, they have encountered substantial obstacles in reclaiming their investments. Dr. Bawumia’s announcement offers a ray of hope for these investors, who have been seeking a resolution to their predicament.
He recognized the challenges faced by the investors, noting that the Ministry of Finance had previously offered a bailout of 50,000 Ghana cedis per investor and is now preparing another package to ease their hardships.

“We would have lost so many jobs and for some of the securities like Gold Coast securities, these were investments that were made by people and not the banking sector. These are not banking deposits, these are investments made by people. And people basically make their own evaluations of the risks in investing in certain institutions.”
“Sometimes when they make a lot of money, we don’t hear any complaints but when they lose monies, then we may hear some complaints. And I know that it’s not easy for a lot of people who have put provident funds and so on into these institutions.
“The Ministry of Finance came out with a bailout, and I think each repository that they gave was about 50 thousand Ghana cedis and I think that the ministry is preparing another bailout for them because we believe that they are going through a lot of hard times,“ Dr. Bawumia said.
