Microfinance Customers in Sunyani threaten govt. over locked-up investments

Disgruntled customers of DKM Microfinance companies in Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region took to the street on Wednesday to stage a huge demonstration to demand the release of their investments. The customers have been agitating for the release of their investments after the Bank of Ghana released the frozen accounts of DKM Microfinance in October 2015.

Meanwhile, the customers have  threatened to vote against the NDC government if the flagstaff house does not intervene in the Issue.
