Since Monday, February 6, the pensioners have been picketing outside the Ministry in an effort to be excused from the Program.
Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo questioned Mr. Ofori-Atta about why he had responded to other groups' letters while ignoring their plea for retirees to be spared from the domestic debt swap program.
She said it is growing concerning that the Minister has not responded to their concerns.

We joined pensioners again to picket outside the Ministry of Finance to protest our inclusion in the program. That's the gist; I usually try to reduce things to their simplest form; excuse us, we're seniors. I have only ever seen a copy of the letter, which was dated January 7th.
