Dr. John A. Kuma, the Deputy Minister for Finance has denied reports attributed to him suggesting that business owners who refuse to accept MOMO because of E-Levy will be arrested.
He insists that he has never on any platform made such comments, urging Ghanaians to dismiss the publication with the contempt it deserves.
Government commenced the implementation of the 1.5% levy on May 1, 2022 after Parliamentary approval.
But in a statement issued in Accra, Dr. Kuma, also the Member of Parliament for Ejisu in the Ashanti Region added: “Kindly ignore some media publications that quote me as saying, “business owners who refuse to accept MOMO because of E-levy will be arrested”.
He noted “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.“
Dr. Kumah however, entreated the media to always double check and make sure they source their information from credible sources.
