Former Finance Minister and NPP Member of Parliament, Mohammed Amin Adam, has dismissed claims that his administration implemented the controversial betting tax. His response follows the presentation of the 2025 Budget Statement and Economic Policy by Finance Minister Dr.
Cassiel Ato Forson, who announced the abolition of several taxes, including the betting tax and E-Levy.Speaking at a Minority-led press conference, Dr.
Amin Adam criticized the claim, calling it misleading. "Betting tax that they said they have abolished, we never collected betting tax.
So to come and tell Ghanaians that you have abolished something that we never implemented, is to deceive the people of Ghana," he stated.
