But to the extent that it has been used to gain some political points or it is being done for political expediency, for me, is very unfortunate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will tell you something, I have always been saying that the MoMo tax is not a compulsory tax, you only pay when you use it. If you don\u2019t use it you don\u2019t pay so for me, there is no way any other procedure for making payments is going to equal MoMo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight now, what we are saying is the tax is targeted at those who have the ability to pay, not those who are receiving. If you are receiving it is okay to go and negotiate with the person who has gone to the bank to borrow money and be a MoMo agent, pay money out, otherwise keep the money on your phone and you don\u2019t pay any money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is money targeted at those who want to use the service, even if I stand here and tell people that if you like don\u2019t pay or if you like don\u2019t use MoMo, I tell you, using MoMo will be far cheaper. If you think using the MoMo service is difficult or expensive, you try taking your money out there and even see.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Member of Parliament for Tema West, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, has asked Ghanaians who do not want to pay the 1.75 e-levy to stop using Mobile Money (MoMo).
