Convener of the Pensioner Bondholders Forum, Dr. Adu Anane Antwi, says the Forum will not back down on its plan to get the government to formally exempt them from the debt exchange programme.
The Pensioner Bondholders Forum, Monday, picketed in front of the Finance Ministry for an hour to impress on the Finance Minister to formally exempt them from the domestic debt exchange programme.
According to the Forum, the same grace that was extended to the Pension Funds should be extended to Pensioners as most of them depend on their coupons to cater for themselves and their children.
However, the government has refused to exempt them, rather offering them an “improved and enhanced offer.”
