I won’t leave this bank until I get my bond returns – 77-year-old retiree vows

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 Source: iNews

Peter Kojo Nyasepe, a 77-year-old sick retiree, has promised to stay at his bank premises until the end of the month, when he will get the interest on his bonds.

Peter, who owns bonds, says that he needs the money from his investment to buy medicine to stay alive, so the money can't be taken away.

In an exclusive interview with Joojo Cobbinah, the features editor at JoyNews, the angry 70-year-old said that his painful experience with a ponzi scheme in the past led him to choose government bonds.

But he says that he is now living in fear because the government wants to start a program called Domestic Debt Exchange, which will keep him from getting his returns for this year.

“I gave the money to the Ghana Commercial Bank so they’ll give me the money before I come. I’m going to stay there.

“If they say the money is not there, I’m going to stay there. I’m going to stay there until they carry me wherever they want to carry me because I cannot walk myself so they’ll carry me.

“Wherever they want to carry me they have to carry me and go. That’s the only thing I can do. I cannot fight them also”, the distraught retiree said.
