In a notice published in the Wednesday, August 30 edition of the Daily Graphic newspaper, Menzgold assured that it remains committed and shall continue to discharge its existing contractual obligations under all gold trading contracts owed its cherished clients.

The announcement follows on the heels of a caution by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) to the general public against depositing money with Menzgold because it has not licensed the company to take deposits.

Answering questions before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament earlier this month, the Second Deputy Governor of the BoG, Dr Johnson Asiamah, said anybody who deposited money with Menzgold did so at his or her own risk although the Minerals Commission had given Menzgold a licence to purchase gold.

The Corporate Manager of Menzgold, Nana Yaw Offei denied reports that it takes deposits from its customers explaining that the company does not take deposits from customers because it is not a financial institution.
