The Retired person Bondholders Discussion has announced that its members will picket at Parliament next Tuesday to witness the discussion between members of the House and the Finance Ministry.
Members from the forum have likewise expressed that they will keep on picketing at the Money Service until the government tends to their interests about excluding their ventures from the homegrown obligation trade program.
Dr. Adu Anane Antwi, Convener of the Retired people Bondholders Forum, let know that the Forum is anxious to hear the Finance Minister's response to Parliament on Tuesday.
"Assuming we have the strength which we go to God that we ought to constantly have, we will persistently be at the Service until that absolute exclusion is conceded. The main day we won't be there is Tuesday when the Minster should show up before Parliament. We will be in Parliament to see and hear for ourselves everything he will say to Parliament and what the reaction and response of Parliament will be."
Members from the Beneficiary Bondholders Forum have picketed multiple times in succession at the Money Service to request an all out exception of their ventures from the Homegrown Obligation Trade program.
Government has proposed a 15% coupon rate yet the group of around 30 retired people in the midst of singing devoted Ghanaian melodies let know that they won't acknowledge any haircuts on their investment as their occupations rely upon the returns from these investments.
One beneficiary bondholder told Citi News, "the main term we see currently is an all out exclusion. They absolved annuity reserves so we the retired people will get back to picket in the future."
