The leadership of the aggrieved customers of Menzgold Ghana will today, Monday, October 23, meet the Ghana Police Service to discuss the release of GH¢5 million by the company’s CEO, Nana Appiah Mensah, for onward disbursement.
Menzgold, in a statement announcing the release of the funds, which will be supervised by the police, indicated that payment would be limited to clients who have followed the stipulated procedures during the settlement process.
However, the convenor for the aggrieved customers, Frederick Forson, said the meeting with the police would provide clarity on the next line of action.
“He deposited GH¢5 million at the CID headquarters and per our checks, that money has been sent to the Bank of Ghana,” Forson said, adding, “We are yet to be briefed on the note accompanying the money and as of now, we don’t know what he actually wants the money to be used for.”
“The case is in the High Court now and I am sure the police, if any action is taken at all, have to come from the Attorney General, but until we meet with the police, I will not know what he wants the money to be used for,” he added.
The aggrieved customers have been clamouring for the release of their funds after Menzgold suspended operations in 2018. The company has since been accused of running a Ponzi scheme.
Nana Appiah Mensah, who is also known as NAM1, is currently on trial for fraud.

The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has released GHS219.8 million to credentialed healthcare providers across the country to support the continued delivery of healthcare services under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
According to a statement issued by the Authority on Thursday, the payment was made on July 1, 2026, and covers a backlog of claims from previous years as well as vetted claims for services provided up to May 2026.
The NHIA said the latest disbursement brings the total amount it has paid in claims this year to nearly GHS1.2 billion.
It explained that the payment is aimed at improving the financial stability of healthcare providers and enabling them to continue offering quality healthcare services to NHIS members without interruption.
The Authority said private healthcare facilities received GHS98.24 million, representing 44.69 per cent of the total payment. Public healthcare facilities received GHS80.86 million, representing 36.78 per cent, while mission and faith-based health facilities received GHS40.70 million, representing 18.53 per cent.
The Chief Executive of the NHIA, Dr. Victor Asare Bampoe, said the payment demonstrates the Authority’s commitment to reimbursing healthcare providers on time.
“This payment reinforces our commitment to strengthening the financial sustainability of the health facilities that serve NHIS members every day,” he stated.
He added that the Authority remains focused on ensuring that healthcare providers, from major hospitals to Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds, receive timely and accurate payments for the services they provide.
Dr. Bampoe said the NHIA is also implementing measures to improve claims processing, reduce payment delays and strengthen collaboration with healthcare providers in line with the government’s goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage.
He encouraged all credentialed healthcare providers to submit their claims promptly and accurately while following the Authority’s claims processing guidelines to support faster vetting and reimbursement.
The NHIA reiterated its commitment to strengthening the National Health Insurance Scheme through sustainable financing, increased confidence among healthcare providers and improved access to quality healthcare services for all Ghanaians.
