The Chairman of the Trade and Industry Committee of Parliament, Carlos Ahenkorah says his comments about the E-Levy made in an interview Wednesday were misreported.

According to the Tema West MP, the reportage of the lengthy interview he granted the media on the E-Levy was unfairly skewed.

Mr Ahenkorah said his response to a hypothetical question about what would happen if Ghanaians decide not to use Mobile Money because of the E-Levy was not reported accurately.

He said his response that persons who do not use Mobile Money in that instance would not pay the tax were not captured accurately in viral videos and reports which made the rounds.

I said if you don't use Momo, you won't pay (the E-Levy) because it is only those who use the service that pay. If I say this, does this mean that you should twist my words to say that I said if you don't want to pay then don't use Momo? You twisted my words in a way that would court hatred for me, Mr Ahenkorah said in a radio interview with Oman FM on Thursday morning.
