The founder of Perez Chapel International, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare says he’s affected by the Domestic Debt Exchange programme The revered man of God revealed how he’s unable to access his GH¢106,000 investment with his bankers making him a ridiculous offer The programme in its current form has been heavily criticized by well-meaning Ghanaians who fear when rolled out will compound their economic situation.
The Domestic Debt Exchange programme is biting hard at the investments of the high and low in Ghanaian society. One such person whose money has been locked in the programme is the founder of Perez Chapel International, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare.
The revered man of God disclosed how he’s unable to access his GH₵106,000 accrued investment at a go.
According to him, his bankers have informed him that the money can be paid in instalments of GH¢ 1,000 per week over the next 106 weeks which is two (2) years.
He said “I have an instrument with a certain financial institution, with a bank, and I’ve done it [for so long] and it’s about GH¢106,000; and I said: ‘I’m taking my money’. They said to me, they are going to pay me GH¢1,000 every week. That means that the GH¢106,000 will take me 106 weeks [to get]. And when I said they should do something about it, they said: ‘It is because it is even you, Archbishop because some people come to our bank and they weep.’”
The government earlier included pension funds in the programme but had to quickly withdraw it after labour unions threatened a massive industrial action.
