In a letter addressed to the Clerk of Parliament on 7th November, the MPs highlighted the urgency of this proposal, particularly in light of the current economic challenges and the need for policies that alleviate financial strain on Ghanaians.
The MPs argue that the tax on gaming winnings only exacerbates financial hardships and limits economic choices for citizens, especially as they deal with the economic consequences of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).
Francis Xavier-Sosu Pulse Ghana "Considering the impact of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) and the exacerbation of the twin challenges of unemployment and economic hardship, as well as the apparent lack of adequate safety measures to protect vulnerable Ghanaians from daily pressures, there is an urgent need to introduce programmes, including tax policies and measures, that aim to rescue Ghanaians in light of these harsh economic realities.
These measures should focus on reducing the cost of living, promoting savings and investment, and achieving economic stability and sustainable growth.
