Spokesperson for the Coalition of Aggrieved Customers of Menzgold (CACM), Frederick Forson, has reacted to reports from some of its members announcing his indefinite suspension as spokesperson for the coalition.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Forson called on customers to disregard any press release claiming that he has been suspended. He stated, “If they have evidence, they should bring it forward.”
The suspension, communicated in a press release issued by the leadership of CACM on Tuesday, January 21, cited multiple violations of the coalition’s principles and policies by Forson.
These included unauthorized meetings, unauthorized fundraising, misuse of CACM’s name, an uncooperative attitude, and the unauthorized creation of WhatsApp groups.
The statement also mentioned that attempts by pastors and elders within CACM to mediate and restore unity between Forson and the leadership had been undermined by his refusal to attend meetings and disregard for the reconciliation efforts.
As a result, Mr. Forson has been banned from speaking on behalf of CACM or using the coalition’s name, logo, or letterhead for any purpose. In light of his suspension, Ezekiel Annor Akagbo has been appointed as the acting spokesperson.
In response to the allegations, Mr. Forson firmly rejected the claims.
“I have not taken any bribe from anyone. I am not corrupt. I have been faithful with the customers and have not misconducted myself in any way,” he said.
Mr. Forson stated that, as of yesterday, the coalition had over 11,000 customers and rejected the accusations against him as false.
“All the allegations leveled against me are false. I am a man of accountability, not corrupt,” he added.
He urged customers to disregard the claims made by individuals he said were not even on the platform.
“The people making these baseless claims are part-time members seeking to destroy my reputation,” he explained.
When asked if he is still the spokesperson for the coalition, Forson responded confidently, “Yes, I am. Those accusing me have no locus, and I wonder who gave them the authority to make such decisions.”
