More than three hundred members of the Ghana Mineworkers Union recently marched to the Bank of Ghana.
They carried placards and chanted slogans to demand the immediate release of over three hundred and fifty million cedis.
These trapped savings belong to roughly nineteen thousand workers whose deposits got locked up in regulated financial institutions back in 2019.
Union leaders argue that the central bank carries a direct statutory duty to protect everyday depositors from sudden financial collapses.
Many affected miners have retired or faced severe economic hardships while waiting endlessly for their rightful investments.
Leaving thousands of families stranded without their hard earned provident and welfare funds makes little economic sense.
TUC Mineworkers Secretary General Joshua Ansah joined the protest to press home the urgent demand for state intervention and full refunds.
Protesters insisted that regulatory bodies must act swiftly to restore public confidence in the local banking system.
Workers expect concrete payment timelines rather than endless bureaucratic delays from authorities overseeing the financial sector.
