Papa Kwesi Nduom, the founder and leader of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), has said that he will conduct a protest at the end of November to call on authorities to resurrect his now-defunct GN Bank.
The rally is scheduled during the final week of November 2024 in the Central Region.
“It is our intention to hold the ‘Bring Back GN Bank’ rally in my hometown, Elmina, so stay tuned for the official announcement and location,” Papa Kwesi stated.
“We want people to join us, to stand with us, and to make it clear to the nation that the closure of GN Bank was needless, harmful, and deeply damaging.”
Dr. Nduom made these remarks in a Facebook broadcast on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, titled “Disappointed but Not Discouraged,” where he voiced his frustration with the collapse of GN Bank following the government’s 2017 financial sector reforms.
Memorizing on what he termed “the journey of business in Ghana,” Nduom criticized the state of the economy and shared that approximately 70,000 direct jobs were tied to Group Nduom’s operations, many of which were lost when GN Bank was shut down.
Dr. Nduom often does go live on his Facebook page, where he talks about important topics including the banking industry, unemployment, the economy, and good government.
