"Dabiaa hashtags akɛseɛ, but we don’t see anything. In the same 5 months, Ato is Forson, Oku is Dzetoing at foreign affairs, Kwame Agboza is fixing roads. But just common data and DSTV subscription reduction turn problematic give you. Sam Dodge."

@GhanaSocialUni said:

"Then we should have given Akufo Addo and Ursula more time ."

@SamTuga44 said:

"Finally, you come online “Honable”

@eugeneGR8T said:

"@samgeorgegh Please, if the traditional telcos are making data prices cost and providing poor services, then I think you should adjust by bringing in or trying decentralising the whole system by bringing in decentralised eSIM systems that include different companies. Stop the Monopoly."

Sam George speaks out on MoMo fraud

YEN.com.gh reported that Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George, added his voice to the growing concerns about mobile money (MoMo) fraud in Ghana.

His comments come in the wake of a viral story involving a young woman who reportedly lost over GH¢11,000 to fraudsters.

Sharing a personal experience, the legislator said that his mother was once a victim of a similar scam. According to him, she was defrauded of GH¢24,000 by individuals who claimed they were helping protect her wallet due to his public status.

Sam George emphasised that such fraudulent activities were becoming more sophisticated and widespread. He noted that his office was actively collaborating with telecommunications companies and relevant government agencies to investigate the incidents and implement stronger measures to protect citizens from MoMo-related scams.
