Some former workers of Anglogold Ashanti, on Tuesday, poured onto the streets of Obuasi to protest delays in the release of their monies from the Heritage Fund, established over 100 years ago.
The over 6,500 affected ex-workers are accusing the government of being adamant in listening to their concerns.
The process to retrieve the money was initiated after the closure of the mine in 2014.
Convener for the group, Isaac Asiedu warned that they will take action against the government if it fails to release the monies.
The former employees staged a demonstration months ago over similar concerns regarding their special compensation packages.
The former employees, who were rendered redundant between 2013 and 2014, had said about 4,000 affected ex-workers were owed between $60,000 and $125,000 depending on the number of years they served.
However, the company subsequently indicated that it does not owe them any monies.
