Dr. Jones Opoku-Ware, a criminologist at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has called for stricter regulation of the cash amounts mobile money (MoMo) vendors are allowed to carry, following a deadly robbery attack on a MoMo vendor in Krofrom, Ashanti Region.
The criminologist argues that large sums of money often held by vendors make them prime targets for armed robbers. He proposes limiting the amount of cash vendors can carry, believing it would reduce the risks of such attacks and help better protect their lives.
Dr. Opoku-Ware emphasizes that mobile operators should take action to streamline MoMo operations and safeguard the vendors. He also advocates for better personal security practices among vendors, urging them to prioritize safety in their business interactions.
