The Registrar General’s Department (RGD) will on Monday October 3 commence the publication of the list of validated customers of the defunct microfinance institution, DKM.
Acting Registrar-General Jemima Oware said the planned publication was initially stalled due to logistical challenges. However, all such issues had been resolved, paving the way for the publication. The list was to be published on Friday September 30, 2016 at designated centres.
She said: “Unfortunately as a result of logistical challenges encountered during the processing of the claims, we were not able to commence the publication of the list of validated creditors for DKM at the various offices as we said during the first creditors meeting.”
She further explained that “in view of this, we will use next week Monday to begin to publish the notices all around the branches of DKM and all the designated areas where the customers submitted their claims”.
Ms Oware indicated the department was going to use the whole of next week to ensure that the creditors go to their branches and check their names and banks to receive their funds.
“In the second week of October we will start the payment in the recipient banks and at that point in time when you go to the notices and check your name, you will know which bank your payment will be made to,” she told Citi News.
She added: “Let me say that the list is for verified creditors only. This is because we are still verifying the list of creditors that we have. We have three banks being GCB Bank, ADB Bank, and Fidelity Bank, but GCB Bank is the bank that is ready at the moment. We will soon complete negotiations with the other two banks.”
She stated that customers owed by the company but not seeing their names on the list should be patient since the process of verification was still ongoing.
