Pensioner bondholders continued their picketing at the Ministry of Finance on Friday to demand that their investments should be exempted from the government’s Domestic Debt Exchange programme.

Joining them on the fifth day of their protest was a former Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo, who held a placard.

This is the fifth time that members of the Pensioner Bondholders Forum are picketing at the Finance Ministry to demand a total exemption of their investments from the Domestic Debt Exchange programme.

The government has proposed a 15 per cent coupon rate, but the group of about 50 retirees say they will not accept any haircuts on their investments as their livelihoods depend on the proceeds from these investments
