The leadership of the Licensed Lotto Operators and Agents Association(LLOAA) said the  Concerned Lotto Agents Association of Ghana (CLAAG) does not speak for Private Lotto Operators in Agents in Ghana.

    The association said it solidly believes in the vision and innovative policies and programmes of National Lottery Authority (NLA).

    The leadership said, members of LLOAA are responsible citizens of Ghana, willing to comply with the terms and conditions of the NLA.

    A statement signed by Mr David Agyekum, Chairman of   LLOAA and copied to the media said most of the Private Lotto Operators and Agents have willingly paid their respective license fees at various sums to the NLA awaiting validation and background checks.

    It said private lotto operators and agents have no issues  concerning the License Fee of GHC 1, 000, 000 and other relevant conditions set by the NLA in collaboration with Private Lotto Operators and Agents.

    The statement said,  LLOAA attention has been drawn to  Concerned Lotto Agents Association of Ghana (CLAAG) led by one Kwaku Duah-Tawiah, claiming to be the Official spokesperson for all Private Lotto Operators and Agents in Ghana.

    According to the statement, CLAAG is not known to the Private Lotto Operators are not part of CLAAG and the Association does not represent the interest of Private Lotto Operators and Agents in Ghana.

    It added that CLAAG only consists of two people namely Solomon Aboagye and Kwaku Duah-Tawiah, and these two are Not Lotto Operators or Agents.

    The statement therefore urged the general public to totally ignore CLAAG as they have no authority to talk on behalf of Private Lotto Operators and Agents.
