Convener of the Pensioner Bondholders Forum, Dr. Adu Anane Antwi said if the government does not fulfil its obligations, they will not listen to any new promises.

“Government started paying the coupons up to May 8. It is left with that of May 15 hanging even though the agreement was that we will receive all payments due May 15.

We were to meet with the government to take a decision on the principals that have been due till that date, but we didn’t hear anything,” he added.
