On Techpoint Digest, we discuss Ghana's decision to halt MTN's MoMo fee before it even begins, CashAfrica wanting Nigerians to tap rather than transfer, and Kenya EV prices rising by 16%.
Ghana's swift intervention against MTN's proposed MoMo fees signals a new era where African governments are prioritizing citizens over telecom profits, a crucial shift as mobile money becomes the continent's financial backbone. While Kenya lets EV prices surge unchecked, Accra's decisive action proves that protecting digital financial inclusion doesn't require regulatory timidity, setting a template for how African states can wield their power against multinational overreach.
