Mekit Invest : The director tells his own story
Following the suspension and complains from clients, Jean Calvin Mebenga has been forced to tell his own side of the story. He says his company has been unable to pay clients because of unstable internet connection.
“On September 1, Mekit Invest began to experience unstable internet connection that seriously affected the functioning of our company. Our clients hardly came to the office because they usually receive returns through mobile phone operators”.
Jean Calvin Mebenga also explains that the business is quite volatile given that the world currently depends on digital economy and financial development.
Although the structure is still under lock and key, the Director says all clients’ returns will be entirely paid as soon as the suspension is over.
