The Electronic Money Issuers (EMIs) Chamber of Ghana has condemned the recent wave of violent attacks targeting mobile money agents across the country.
In a press release, the Chamber expressed its deepest condolences to the families of agents who have lost their lives and called for urgent measures to protect these essential workers in Ghana’s financial ecosystem.
The Chamber highlighted the critical role mobile money agents play in facilitating secure and accessible financial transactions for millions of Ghanaians.
However, the alarming rise in attacks on these agents has raised serious concerns about their safety and the stability of the financial services sector.
“Three mobile money agents dying in one month is entirely unacceptable. One life lost is one too many,” the Chamber stated.
The EMIs Chamber thus called on the government, including the President, the Interior and Finance Ministers, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, to collaborate on urgent measures to protect mobile money agents.
