The Governor said a ‘Post No Debit’ instruction shall remain in force until all signatories are changed.
He warned all Banks to adhere to the directive without delay.
“May I announce that effective immediately and until further notice, all government Bank Accounts in all banks are hereby frozen.
“A ‘Post No Debit’ instruction shall remain in force until all signatories are changed. Any Bank that violates this instruction does so at its own risk,” he said.
