John Kumah
Deputy Minister of Finance and MP for Ejisu, John A. Kumah has denied the trending news that he said any businessman who refuses to accept mobile money transactions will be arrested.
According to him, “I never said Business owners who refuse to accept MOMO because of E-Levy will be arrested”.
The Deputy Minister’s reaction follows some reports credited to him.
However, reacting to reports, Dr. Kumah urged Ghanaians to kindly ignore such media publications that quoted him saying, “business owners who refuse to accept MOMO because of E-levy will be arrested”.
The Ejisu MP further explained that “This information is false and misleading since I never uttered the words that are being attributed to me”.
“This can only be the handiwork of people who are bent on creating public dissatisfaction towards the Government and the E-levy”.
He, however, entreats the public to double-check and make sure they source their information from credible sources.
