” The representative went on to explain how the introduction of the E-Levy negatively impacted their operations, noting, “Before the E-Levy, people used to come to the agents to deposit money and send it through their wallets. But when the E-Levy was introduced, people began asking us, the agents, to send the money directly to avoid the E-Levy.
