The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has assured members of the Pensioner Bondholders Forum of government’s commitment to honoring their bonds when they mature.
He said most of their bonds go beyond five years and that was the reason why he brought the maturity period to five years and below so that they can get their principals and interests earlier than agreed.
Mr. Ofori-Atta gave the assurance when he met the members of the Pensioner Bondholders Forum who had picketed the Ministry today.
He told them that their bonds will be honored by government and he has reiterated the assurance in the statement issued by the Ministry. Therefore, there is no need for them to keep picketing.
