MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system - Yaw Ntim Afriyie speaks Out  Yaw Ntim Afrifa, a Brand Strategist and lead of Euphrate Agency and Oxcode.io on his Facebook page speak on MTN  MobileMoney Limited (MoMo), the operating service, which has refuted allegations of a system breach of a viral social media complaint from a customer who claimed GH¢11,000 was withdrawn from her mobile wallet without her consent. Sometime back, when the Government of Ghana was pressing MTN Ghana in an attempt to minimize its enormous market share, I didn’t understand. My position was: why would you make a business suffer for its product and marketing brilliance? I guess now I do understand. MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system stems from one primary fact — it doesn’t hurt their numbers.

Gideon Aryeequaye appointed as the Executive Secretary of CAA marks  the beginning of a new dawn for the creatives. Kojo Preko Dankwa (FOCAP President) writes I am happy with the current government in appointing a substantive executive secretary for the Creative Arts Agency(CAA).   Indeed, this shows the level of interest, energy, and zeal to see the Creative Arts sector grow up.  This is not a government that didn't take seriously the Creative Arts sector but rather toyed with the business and lives of the Creatives by shamelessly living it in the hands of the former  President's  Daughter (Gyankroma Akuffo Addo) to operate as if  it was her personal property.   Ministers couldn't speak the truth to power and did not have the balls to drop Gyankroma Akuffo Addo but rather allowed her to deepen the woes of the creative arts sector as the illegal executive secretary of the Creative Arts Agency. When FOCAP and I decided to blow the whistle of being citiz...
