"We don’t want to take the law into our hands, that is why we have engaged a lawyer to retrieve our money for us. So, we have filed a writ at the Accra High Court to demand our money. We are not saying government should pay, but rather it should force Menzgold to give us our cash."

"Menzgold helped us a lot. As police officers our salaries were meagre, but we were able to carry out some projects with our investment returns. We blame government for what has happened but not Menzgold. For Ken Ofori-Atta to tell us that we are greedy, we don’t get it. They did not do their work well.
"If government has halted the operations of Menzgold, we are only interested in getting back our cash. The company has failed to pay us in spite of the terms and conditions associated with the new migration onto the online platform," the police officer added.
