Radio Host "Momo" Faces Complaint Over Alleged Insults to Bank Employees

Monday 20 April 2020, by Kamal

The National Association of Bank Employees filed a complaint on Saturday with the High Authority for Audiovisual Communication, against the radio host, Mohamed Bousfiha, alias Momo. It accuses him of insulting and humiliating remarks.

The star host of Hit radio would have described bank employees as stupid people, while he was live with an MRE, according to the complaint signed by the president of the association, Amal El Basri.

Disparaging and demeaning remarks that the association deplores, specifying that the problem of the Moroccan expatriate abroad in no way falls within the competence of a bank employee, who moreover is not endowed with decision-making powers.

During the state of emergency, the granting of loans has become complex, given the conditions imposed by the Foreign Exchange Office, in consultation with the various consular representations. Banks are required to produce loan applications signed by customers, at the risk of incurring criminal and financial penalties.
