George Quaye's resignation was tendered in on Thursday, October 4, 2018 over reasons yet to be confirmed.

"A hushed internal strife between Mr. Quaye and the management of Menzgold as a possible reason for the resignation," Myjoyonline.com also claims.

History of Menzgold's woes

It all happened when the Bank of Ghana issues a public statement warning against trading activities with Menzgold.

According to the letter by the Bank of Ghana, Menzgold Company Limited is on the verge of being sanctioned for involving in the “solicitation, receipt of money or investment and the payment of dividends or returns to its clients” when it does not have the license to do so.

The Bank of Ghana has warned that Menzgold has operated without a license from the Minerals Commission and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources thus flouting the Banking laws of the country.
