Information Minister petitions BoG, NMC about “money doublers” on TV
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has petitioned the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and National Media Commission (NMC) about the activities of “money doublers” on television.
In a tweet, the Minister said: “I have written to the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and National Media Commission (NMC) to take note of the activities of money doublers, on TV and act as appropriately to tackle it.
“The Ghana cedi which is produced under the authority of the BoG cannot and ought not be duplicated”.
The Ghana Cedi which is produced under the authority of the BOG cannot and ought not to be duplicated. The BOG and NMC have a responsibility to take a view of such acts on our televisions and act accordingly.

Mr Oppong Nkrumah emphasised that the BoG and NMC have the responsibility to take a view of such acts on televisions and act accordingly.
The comments came following some media reports that the Minister has issued a statement emanating from the Presidency that from Friday, May 1, 2020, all broadcasts and advertisements of fetish priests and Mallams would be banned on television.
This action is perfect 👌 but the government must go to the level even to some churches in Ghana.
The citizenry of this great and hardworking country,do not need such spiritual activities on our screens and airwaves,it may promote ritual murders in the country.
