Recently, NAM1 disclosed that Menzgold has paid 5000 of its customers. The company had initially requested all necessary documentation from customers to facilitate the payment validation procedure. However, in a subsequent communication, the company clarified that a significant number of submitted claims contained inconsistencies, rendering 60 percent of the claims ineligible for settlement.
Additionally, the defunct company had proposed that customers who had funds tied up should enrol for a fee of 650 cedis to determine their eligibility for reimbursements.
Meanwhile, NAM1 has pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail in the sum of GH¢500 million.
