Some aggrieved workers of the of defunct Capital Bank have lashed out at the company's Board Chair, Pastor Mensa Otabil .

The General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), incurred the wrath of the staff of the defunct Capital Bank after he released a press statement sympathising with them after news on his role in the collapse of the bank emerged.

The Former Board Chairman of the now-defunct Capital Bank, Pastor Mensa Otabil, in a statement issued on Tuesday, 14 August 2018 expressed concern about individuals and entities adversely affected by the collapse of the bank.

He said; “My foremost concern, as has been the case over the past year, is for the well-being of those who lost their jobs and those who may have been adversely affected in any way as a result of these developments. My heart goes out to them and to their dependents. I continue to pray for God’s guidance and sustenance as they navigate the course of their lives,”.

However, Former employees of the bank, Raymond Addei Danquah and Philip Yawson in response to his statement stressed that at this trying moment, all they need is their severance package not prayers from their Board Chairman.

They explained that for the past one year, it’s been hell catering for their wives and children.

Raymond Addei Danquah who was Deputy Head of Digital Banking said he now grills pork to support his family.

He noted that the payers and sympathies of Pastor Mensa Otabil will not change their current situation.

“We don’t need his sympathises and prayers; it won’t change anything. Even workers of Capital Bank who are members of ICGC have not heard anything from the church” Raymond stated.

He said they have petitioned President Akufo-Addo but are yet to receive a response.
